    The surf has it's air intake behind the passenger headlight, if you think the headlight is going to be getting wet forget it !

    At that depth I would advise caution and do not apply a lead foot.

      Generally its ok as long as you keep going, you will push out a bow wave once you stop its when the real troubles starts. I would have to say 18" is a puddle (see pic attached) as long as you dont suck in water through the air intake and all your door seals are OK then have fun.
      Also take a look at the web site videos of off road days, Avon Dassett, Pingewood & Norfolk then see if you think you can do it.

        Look here!



        Note correctly formed bow wave, keeping the contents off puddle out the the air intake! (Or maybe I wasn't going fast enough!)

                        Here's Timbersurf making waves at Avon Dassett. Have fun in your ford, 18" is just fine- take a camera though!
