Nope just looked and Florrie's outside



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Freelander 2 HSE auto 2014 ( Florrie ) ..... Try again.
Freelander 2 GS 2012...... Gone.

Wasn't me, mine is blue

looks like it should be within the wading capability of an FL2 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

It does look very close to the rated wading depth of the Freel2

For mine I have 235 60 18 with a diameter of 29.1"

Looking at the picture it looks like the owner has completely covered the wheel but not the tire.

The mid point of the wheel should be 14.5"

The top of the wheel should be 9" more than that (if they have 18" wheels) = 23.5"

The rated wading depth is 19.7"

So it does look like they slightly over did it.

having said that I would expect my Freel2 to make it thru that water obstacle

Maybe they panicked & were out of their depth! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I'd say that's cutting it real tight to the tolerances.........hopefully it ain't moving water!

As with any flood water,
We need to take care.
roads edges get eroded and breakup also drain covers can lift,
so what may look safe to wade could well have hidden dangers,
I Just hope that doesn't go on the market with undisclosed history.

its always catch 22

gentle bow wave needed But as said you dont know if a grate has come up?

you should always walk and check the route first But swmbo wont get out and do it

I have got my wellies in the boot But not my waders  .
my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars!
But its now gone way up Norf

If you need to wade through any "still" flood water,
Please use a wading pole (carry it in the car and mark it at 500mm)
use it in front as you walk checking for any danger remember what could be
walkable may have a 8ft plus drain waiting for you.
never walk into any flowing water, 1ft deep is capable taking you off your feet.
Stay safe guys.

PS ^^ when I did the water awareness course with Kent S.A.R
we were informed that in towns it will contain 80% plus of sewage!! DAVE.

Most likely a little too fast, easy to panic and think the sooner out the better  Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Very good point there Dave - although I wouldn't walk it out, for those that do, a stick is a great idea to keep you safe. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Well, Moses did have a staff...........maybe even Noah???
