Don't hit the Water at an excessive Speed ...
Keep the Speed up enough to keep the Bow-wave Right in Front of you as the water drops lower right behind it which is handy for the Air intake section in the top of the wheel arch ....
Try not to go alone just in case you have a bad moment and Imitate the HMS Fronteras' we have on here .....
Keep a Can of WD40 Handy in case you need to spray some areas to drive the moisture out ......
ALWAYS Check your Brakes when you've left the water and are a Sensible Distance Away from the ford .......
IF You do start to lose it and float away , KILL THE ENGINE AT ONCE so you don't hydraulik and wreck the Pistons .........
All those are things I have done and Touch Wood .. not come a cropper .
As to the Speed bit , it's a case of Do as I say, NOT as I do lol
Great Alne Ford WARWICKSHIRE
