Don't forget to do all your transmission oils, I would also strip off the steering knuckles to get out any water and regrease the CVs, kingpins and front wheel bearings

Would deffo pull the ECU out, open it up and put it somewhere warm to dry out for a good few days

Yeah It gets boring quick :lol: Ive been through a few sets of speakers and a few stereos after drowning them, plus you have to drive around for the rest of the day soaking wet :lol:

3ft is about the deepest ill drive through nowadays, and only if its clean water.

No I had I look and it only looked about 2 foot, how wrong was I. Bit stupid really. I won't be doing that again, by the amount of water in the dissy I think that was at fault
