Insurance won't pay out in that scenario. I know someone who drove their Mitsubishi L200 through a big puddle; water got into the air intake, smashed the turbo to pieces and blew his engine. Insurance refused liability as it was 'avoidable' and 'reckless'. Cost him £11k and struggled to get insurance afterwards. TBH it was his own fault, same as muppets who try and drive through 2ft of water.TitanTim wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 10:18 pm Some of the cars that come to grief are only a few years old if that so must be worth 20k plus, I would have thought a car filled with water etc would be written off so don't these people realise its unlkely their insurance would cover it, kinda crazy when completely unnavoidable.
Wasn't that stupid, had his waterproofs on.
Fresh water shouldn't cause it to be written off (unless ingested) unless the waters full of silt etc. Let it dry out, a thorough detail, and should be good to go. But yeah, complete stupidity.TitanTim wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 10:18 pm Some of the cars that come to grief are only a few years old if that so must be worth 20k plus, I would have thought a car filled with water etc would be written off so don't these people realise its unlkely their insurance would cover it, kinda crazy when completely unnavoidable.

suspect it will take more than water to clean the inside of his leathers
I don't think that's fresh water it was filthy.rdgreen wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 10:33 pmFresh water shouldn't cause it to be written off (unless ingested) unless the waters full of silt etc. Let it dry out, a thorough detail, and should be good to go.

It must depend on what you tell the insurer, a friend killed his S5 about 3 years ago driving it through a flood that never ended.Pondrew wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:25 pmInsurance won't pay out in that scenario.

So why did he drive into it in the first place?Nictrix wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 6:38 pmIt must depend on what you tell the insurer, a friend killed his S5 about 3 years ago driving it through a flood that never ended.Pondrew wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:25 pmInsurance won't pay out in that scenario.

Was paid out in days and was in his new car in just over a week.
He had his drone in the boot and he put it up in the air while his car was in the flood, all you could see for hundreds of metres around him was water. He was never going to make it out.
On his way to work very early one morning in the rain and dark on a not familiar road. Came across a bit of water on the road and didnt think it would be deep or last long. Once he was in so far there was no going back.Scubaregs wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 8:25 pmSo why did he drive into it in the first place?Nictrix wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 6:38 pmIt must depend on what you tell the insurer, a friend killed his S5 about 3 years ago driving it through a flood that never ended.Pondrew wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:25 pm Insurance won't pay out in that scenario.
