[QUOTE="Eggie86, post: 543908, member: 16239"] Update for today: Actually went through a pool of water just after exiting Kesas at the Summit junction, towards the roundabout. It was slightly flooded on the left, but I gingerly pressed on slowly. Halfway felt the car was almost going to stall but I kept on moving ahead and proceeded home. Then left the car in my porch till 8pm and noticed the car had some sort of whizzing sound when I cranked it. However, the car was able to start on the 2nd crank. Kept trying, and indeed, the first crank was met with that sorta whistling pitch, before starting with no problem at all on the 2nd crank. Dad said this might be due to the engine not drying completely, as it drizzled non-stop since the incident occurred till the time I first restarted the car. I even took it for a brief spin, seemed as if nothing was wrong. Not wanting to take any chances, I left the car at home during dinner and will also leave the car untouched for work tomorrow and use back the XJ40 instead... Fingers crossed that my few seconds of defiance will not cause major damage to the car. :( Will try starting the car again tomorrow morning to ascertain whether the problem is still there. [/QUOTE]
