Living where I do floods are an impossibility, but I always carry my winter survival kit:

• Warm blanket
• Mobile phone
• Shovel
• Torch
• Lighter
• Cigarettes
• Bottle of Teachers
• Pack of Tennent's lager

Our Landrover is set up for wading . So is good 3ft deep but its been up to the wind screen no problems but its not somthingid do in a flood as you have no idea whats in the water . . We are kinda like Raft in that we are prepared no point having a kit at home . there are a few things most cars should have . A good first aid kit , fire exstiguisher , Life Hammer and a throw line . the last 2 would save more lives considering how much water we live in and around in this country .

Having a 4x4 doesn't mean you can go through water, A high air intake does !  Although most 4x4's are higher and it helps, some are not much higher than 'normal' cars so are just as prone. My Delica is setup for wading up to 4ft But it takes me to work each day,takes us camping and tows the caravan so theres no way it'll be going near any deep water, its there for 4x4 response if ever needed.

(and it's not getting dirty )
