Freelander TD4 Bottled It

<< < (4/4)

Drift:
Think it was petrol, JC kinda shy's away from diesels :lol: sounded like petrol when he was hoofing it around the shops  ;)

Done something?

It was in LRO a while back!

The army gave it a complete waterproof kit, the same as they do to a 'sea going' 90.

There was an article about them in LRO and they mentioned a waterproofing job on a Fiesta for top gear :)

Ah, that explains a lot. I found it hard to believe it would survive the drowning otherwise.

So how long before someone tries to sue the BBC when they drown their Fiesta in 3 feet of water?

Sorry to be a pedant, but it was the Royal Marines that waterproofed it.  I was working at a Ford garage at the time that was shown on tv and spent the next week spending way too much timeunder the bonnet of the new Fiestas trying to figure out how they did it.  It didn't occur to me until the LRO feature that the Booties might have fettled the Fiesta, and I work withe them all the time.
