Help needed PLEASE!!!!!!!!
I have been through a flood, 'muppet' I know. Everything else was getting through when the chimp just cut out, when trying to start it it won't even turn over, what has happened?, is it serious? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have pushed it to my friends house and need to know if it has damaged anything? Many thanks in advance

Thank you all, I have sorted it. All pistons were full of water, yes I do have an air filter about an inch off the floor!!!!!!!!
Have took all spark plugs out and turned the engine over, I have never seen so much water!!!!
I think I have been very lucky, I got the engine going and it seems to be fine, A bit lumpy for the first 20 or so minutes but then it cleared and now it is running ok, Thanks for all your help everyone, I have now learned that TVR's are really not that fond of water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also thanks (not) to all the bast**** who drove through the flood soaking me and laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
