I have never understood how people can be so ignorant! How can a great big build up of water over your grille and headlights even look like a good idea!??
So plenty of road users haven't a clue where their air intake might be exactly, but surely they know it is under the bonnet, and dare i suggest they might say 'near the top of the engine' if they were pressed to hazard a guess!?
In my humble opinion, navigating flood water is fecking simple (providing no one comes the other way in a 4x4/tractor and ruins your plan) - if the standing water is no higher than your sills or hubs, just drive slowly and don't splash your electrics, or build up a bow wave so large the water is pushed through your grille and into your engine bay/and over your air intake!
Just have to laugh at the guy in the t5 transporter (0.36 onward) - even at the end of the video the muppet is too impatient to wait for the truck to pass!
If you haven't guessed its flooded down this way (SW) and morons are blocking roads by needlessly conking out in front of everyone!
Rant over

*EDIT*
The desire to f'about in the landy was too great, so i went for a little drive in the floods...
