Deepest I went was about 3.5ft deep last December. I have a photo of someone else going through the ford in Eversley about 30mins after me. Shame we missed each other!
I had the bow wave half way up the windscreen and the water came out the heater vents on the dash board :shock: :lol:
The thing that saved me was a puncture the daybefore so spare was flat, 3 people in the car, 3 peoples luguage for a weekend, new set of shocks n springs, selection of logs, my heavy tool boxes. It still floated a tad at the front as the steering went light! :lol:

me and solihull-mick went through a local ford earlier in the year after a load of rain - he called my 110 a barge after that due to the distance it floated........ water lapping against the side windows, strong current and a severe case of damp a#se all the way home - but we made it!
ps i've also had the water through the vents a few times, i can't believe how many times the cd player has filled up but a few days later comes back to life!!
Chris Putt:
Been in water in a rangey with 4" lift and Big tyres well over the bonnet, just coming up the screen (and in the windows as they no longer worked!)
Also been in a 90 so it was just lapping on the bottom of the screen, that was amusing.

Wingmirror depth, if not a bit more in the local ford. Its too short for floating to be an issue though. And the rate it was taking on water...
The suzuki's been in over her mirros more than once, good thing they have no center diff... Vitaras float :shock:
