Default ScoobyClinic Ford

Hi All,
I'm planing on going to ScoobyClinic to have a few bits sorted out, but Iv lowered my car since I last went & I'm wondering if I can make it over the ford without damaging the underside of my Scooby.
Has anyone else made it over in a lowered car without damaging their pride & joy?
Thanks, Richard.

We have had a little bit of light rain recently.
Might be worth checking.

My car is low and I make it over no problem, my worries would be if the engine is high enough to make it thru the rise in water hight

Its the water level in the stream you have to worry about at the minute with the rain we`ve had,most cars make it over lowered or otherwise without any issues mate.

Cheers Wagonman, how do they do any work when the weather is like this? I was worried about ripping my exhaust or bumper off before, now I'm scared of hydraulicing my engine. If the rain ever stops I'll call Kev & book it in. The ford is worrying but at least the guys at the clinic know their stuff.

Well I needn't have worried, went today & my lowered classic didn't touch atall, no hint of a scrape, & even after all the rain it was only about ankle deep.
