Depends whether it's actually got inside the car - you might have got it in time.

Are your footwells moist at all, Len?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Nope no water inside thanks!

Dunno how bad it would have to get to get inside as 4 inches is a lot of water!

Did those pesky plenum drains on Saturday morning, was an easy job.
Well the one on the drivers side was a little tricky with heater/aircon pipes in the way but managed to squeeze a finger in there. :grin:
Latex gloves FTW!

Major Problem!

Developed a bad misfire on Saturday, then last night this caused it to cut out and was VERY difficult to get started again.
ALL the lights on the dash came on and even turning over was very laboured, almost as if it wouldnt turn over at all.
I was surprised it started again and I managed to get it home.

Any ideas?

Well Billy checked the codes for me Sat morning and none that would cause any great problem like this!
So it went to the garage and we'll see what they find.

Garage just phoned me and two of the spark plugs have broken up!
Really, really hoping now that no bits have got into the engine!

Back in the garage! :angry:
Now it will not idle, cuts out as soon as revs drop.
Will not restart straight away, takes a few minutes before it will start again.

So definitely not a happy bunny!
