It did turn over a few times before battery went down.Not sure but there seemed to be vibration/ shaking from the gearbox area

after trying to drive through a flooded road.water just below the door.Stalled halfway through. Would not resrart.Flattened battery trying.RAC wouldn't come until car was out of the water!!!!Bugger.After concil/waterboard cleared the burst main RAC came & found water in the airfilter pipe to the manifold.
Understandably he didn,t try to start the car but towed me to my local mechanic whose going to have look tomorrow.He said i might be lucky or might not.
So,what should i expect?.......Cars a2.5TD..... I thought tractors could go anywhere. Cheers.

Mine came on a month ago (and is still on) directly after changing the fuel filter on my 2.5TD.It
wouldn,t self bleed for ages probably turning over 5 mins or so.When it did start the light came on
and stayed on. Not sure if this helps in your case
