Thats one citroen, the missus drove her saxo through a " small puddle". The small puddle was infact a lake, one that was up to my waist. Wait a mo, il upload the video......
Cant get my phone to upload it. But basically i took the air filter off, and it was full of water, so i dropped all the fluids and pulled the head off. I couldnt even turn the crank with a bar to lock the timing holes, so pulled the belt straight off and undid the head bolts. Upon lifting the head off i was greeted by every cylinder full of water to the top. I didnt want to go any further as i knew it would have bent a rod, so i tried to pop the wet liners by trying the starter motor. Nothing, propper siezed so got £180 off the scrap man today.

Car looks nice Nathan, especially engine bay. Just need to change bonnet to yellow and scuttle to black. Hint..........Hint.
I've got a slight second black scuttle here if Richard doesn't want it. Andy
