Thanks all for your advice and support. I've dropped it off for an RACV eval and at least I've got a nice loan car (Statesman=Huge) until it's sorted.
I've definately got hydro lock as the oil is all milky and intakes flooded.
Advice please. If they are only going to approve an engine replacement, won't it ruin my resale and I'll have 'mismatch' issues?
Do you think I can argue the point and try and get a pay out?
I'm thinking worst case scenario.
I knew I should've opened the door and let the flood in...
