No, this shouldn't be in the Engine/Gearbox section.
> correction: it should!
I drive into a flooded road today which I thought was about 6 inches.
It was in fact about 18 inches. Car stopped, footwells filled up with water as far as the sills.
I got towed home, have taken out removable carpets and removed floor bungs so its draining.
Engine won't start though.

It's already been turned over, so if there was going to be any damage, then it's already been done...RattyMcClelland wrote:Remove the air intake and see if the inside of the throttle body is wet. You don't want to compress water trying to start the car and bend a rod.
