No it was floating. She went into superextended mode but alas could not find enough grip to move forward against the flow.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

As soon as I stopped driving forward the current took over. It pushed the front round further than I anticipated, causing me to hit the river bank with the NS rear.
Here is some 'jumpy' footage from inside. Check out the warning lights illuminating on the dash as the car realises its got no or little weight on the sensors. Oh you can hear the I'm floating BONG
Had the floaty moment in my old one too. Slightly scary as the car went sideways in the flow but was able to get it into reverse and get just enough traction on the rear wheels to get back to shallower water. Unbelievable grip on the seat mind you I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I got into deep water and it started to float. Thank LR for super extended mode that got me out of potentially serious (expensive) trouble.
Always check the spare wheel seal bung before taking a plunge. If not plugged correctly in the factory or at a garage service, then water / mud / can enter here easily.There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song
