Anyone else done this ford recently?Ive just come back from going through it in the rangie and I struggled!Its not espesially deep but the lip on the north edge nearly killed the engine!its like a big pot hole but with the lip on the edge of the tarmac making his part about 4 foot deep!The V8 didnt like that!Any one got any tips for making a waterproof V8?!(apart from get a diesel!)
 
Hi Ya

I know that lip well there was a foot drop from the road how deep is it now?

We used to have a V6 ford in a landrover chassis built as a space framed off roader.... we used to stretch a rubber glove over the distributer cap and poke the leads through the fingers..

also wrap a plastic sandwhich bag around the coil, just basically try and keep as much water away from the electrics as possible. even coat all the leads in the plastic bag and glove in grease or Bathroom silicon sealant....

used to work a treat for us......

Another ford to try is Furneux Pelham a road running north from Furneux Pelam to Brent Pelam in Hertfordshire just West of Stansted Airport. called Voilets Lane. be warned not for the faint hearted or anyone with out a snorcal........... approx 1/2 mile long 4ft deep + in places....
 
That step is bloody big now.
Nearly to the point where the diff almost touches the tarmac as one wheel drops down.
Make sure you go slow when exiting onto the tarmac, a bit of speed will see tarmac trying to enter the diff through the casing!!
 
Hi, I've done Furneux Pelam ford, without a snorkel, it's the longest ford in Europe and well worth a vist

all the best urban dekay
 
so when are people going back there? i did terling a couple of months ago and didn't thik it too bad but i am in a S3 dooozel with a snorkel if anyone fancies going down there give me a PM and i will tag along (my landy runs again......just)
 
It'll wash out mix some concrete using portland cement and sharp sand 40mm gravel but don't add any water. Then dump the lot in the hole. It'll set solid and never wash out.
