Stuck at Cape York

I am amazed that Arthur doesn't know what happened. I'd have either popped in to the dealership and talked to the actual technician and got answers, or at least got them on the phone. In my experience you'll learn a lot more from the mechanic than the service manager. Hopefully we'll find out what happened soon enough. It must have been some sort of track damage as I can't see an insurance company shelling out that kind of money if they didn't have to. I'd love to know what it was. If a rock or a stick did fracture an oil line, you'd think the red lights would come up before major damage occurred.
All I can imagine is that the turbo ran dry and suffered a catastrophic failure sending bits into the engine... The noise sounded like major engine failure, so surely it mush have ingested something. If it was purely an issue with engine internals you'd think it would have been a warranty job as its hard to imagine how that could be environmental, unless it was water ingress..
 
Looking at the previous video in the series the group of Grenadiers exceeded the maximum wading depth by 300-400mm crossing Pascoe's River on the Frenchman's Track the afternoon before.

The top of the front fender is 1150mm and the top of the tyre is 800mm.

Interestingly John Canny has not uploaded Arthur's crossing, however they were using a spotter and one would assume he followed the same path.

If your waterline is nearly up to the window when it's meant to be not above the top of the tyre...you know.

I think these fellows knew exactly what they'd done the day before and put it on Ineos for a new engine. Ineos watched the videos and said nup!

Moral...... don't go posting incriminating evidence of your stupidity on YouTube when trying to rip of a car company
