lee celtic:
When I was fitting my snorkle and sealing everything up the hose from the air box to the top of the engine came off in my hand  :shock:

The bit where it goes into the plastic adaptor thing on the end of the air box had cracked 3/4 of the way round ..

I took the plastic thing off the air box and using a soldering iron welded the fitting back on sealing it on the inside and outside before re-fitting .

I've just been for a drive round a local bit of worcestershire, its nothing like as bad as july 2007, but one of the fords is 5 ft deep. The 200TDi with snorkle might be fine, but even with the doors a jar I very much doubt you would make it though due to the considerable force from the current. Even with a lot less water flowing through it, this ford has a reputation for sending cars down streem.

Don't forget about the currents if your crossing any sort of stream or river.
