please help!
Not really relevant to the thread, more like distantly related.
When you drive through a ford you must have more pressure in the exhaust
pipe than the water outside exerts on the exhaust otherwise you will get
that kind of damage.
The trick is to go forward very slowly with high revs and lots of clutch
slipping and then all will be well. If the water is sufficiently deep to
reach the fan then disconnect the belt. This will minimise the spray in
the
engine bay and stop the fan blades from damaging the rad.
