A Toyota Land Cruiser had tried to cross some water at Sealine Baech in Qatar. In doing so, the vehicle had damaged the front bumper got stuck and managed to get sea water into the ignition system.
The car was misfiring and only running for a few seconds.
We winched it out after first digging the wet sand, out from around the wheels. In the context of stuck cars, wet sand around the wheels might as well be cement.
After we winched it out, it had dried out enough to run, but not on all cylinders.
It got stuck a second time.
We winched it again onto the firm sand near the water. It then drove out.
