Went to Bristol today. Loads of roads shut and saw a few Landy's winching & dragging cars and vans from flooded roads. Anyone here involved in the fun?
No.... but flood related question. Local road, regularly floods under bridge and road is closed - big red signs -placed by council/police ?
Could easy get through with landy but chickened out and went on 5 mile detour instead
..... so , is a road closed sign enforceable or advisory ?

I've not long got in after spending the day playing in flood water. I can assure you the novelty does wear off.
Enforceable.

Possible risk of creating bow waves and causing flood issues to local properties?
I saw some people going through 6-8 inches of water at stupid speeds - especially some impatient van drivers. Not everyone applies common sense unfortunately

Not long after I got my Disco the guys digging the road up burst a water main and closed the road. I drove up to the sign and asked the guy if I could go through, his was reply was "you can go anywhere in that" and he waved me through.

well if it did run,then it cannot be that much wrong with it,hopefully.when you looking at it??.
It's currently in Taunton, I believe the NFU will assess it and go from there.
MY mate's stepson was driving it and from previous experience he doesn't tell the whole story.
My mate let him have the car after he blew up an escort and smashed up a peugeot
So until the assessor decides write off value it is debatable 54 plate tcdi 2.0 100k.
So it's not worth a vast amount.
But if you can't afford a lot more-worth doing.

so he is a lying sod then,never mind that.plenty of engines for those cars,be easy just to throw another engine in it rather than fook about with the old one.

Small flood up here in Derbyshire today on one of the little back roads.
We had to drive through about 7 inches of water in the D1 V8.
Hard-core stuff, eh?
cool,it might have been not a lot of water,but if it had gotten into your engine then it would have been bye bye engine.
