hear hear, we had flooding here on Canvey Island in Essex last August, nothing serious mind but enough to wreck quite a few homes, ( not mine) a neighbours child was out playing in the water, and I said to him( the father) be careful for your child!, oh she can swim he said ( water about 10 inches deep) , I replied it's no fun to swim in sewage or the main drain contents, poor fellow nearly had a heart attack with the shock of realization!! People just don't think it through, looks nice and clean, but what's mixed in eh? In my house I have non return valves on our sewage outlet in an attempt that if it ever happens we have the minimum ingress of the nasty stuff.nothing but stilts is really effective but we can try.
in my 80 series I have had water over the bonnet, briefly mind, and I have a snorkel, breathers, the whole caboodle, but unless the car is totally prepared, like oil fillers, engine breathers etc, there will always be a slight risk, now I put a tarp over the front to reduce water ingress from the front through the grill ( only done it once) didn't realy notice any difference, but it made me feel better,
Happy wading to all, best regards, Bill Westley
