I drove through a
puddle, flooded road recently. Backed out okay and since driven about 250 miles so major damage averted. However someone wading through the water approached me as I was checking the van and said they'd found this in the water and it might have come off my van, they didn't see it actually come off.
Part found in water : 2 things to note the fixing stud like projections at the top and bottom of the first picture, do they look familiar to anyone that's fitted/replaced underside trims? The other thing is I'm convinced that the tyre tread visible on the bottom picture isn't off my van and no other vehicle could have driven over it had it been broken off my van, but then again this is not CSI Campervan ...
The only visible damage under the van is the under engine panel, the plastic has sheared off the bolts probably with the weight of water above. I've checked
all the lights, diesel heater etc, no warning lights, strange noises and driven back 200 miles. If I get away with a replacement under engine panel already
ordered off Ebay for sixty quid I'll be happy with that. If the part above did come off the van then I'd expect to see something still there but broken or
something completely gone and the remainder would still be lying on a flooded road in the Highlands.
Anything obvious missing?
