Riding through Floods
Hello All,
I took a ride today on my new xt (03), it chucked it down with rain the whole ride, and was all going fine until I came round a bend to find several broken down cars next to a flooded road, the 4wheel drives were getting thru so I gave it a go - the depth was around 500mm (truthfully) maybe slightly more and halfway thru she cutout - dead. I turned the ignition off and pushed her out, 2 minutes later I pressed the start and Bingo we were off again ! If anyone has any idea exactly what the problem was then I'd really like to know. If it was electrical then I would of expected a lot of faffing around before a restart - but apart from the cutout midstream she ran fine all day. All help appreciated ( I'm hoping to go to Iceland next year and apparently the fords ther are really deeeeep!).
Thanks in advance Mike
