Titanium 182
Hey,
So I went to make sure our RNLI boathouse wasn't flooding this weekend with the high tide and winds. Stayed for an hour with some crew and then decided to leave, anyway when driving off the prom a huge wave came over the sea wall and must have put a good foot of water under my car. I felt the car struggling to stay firing so I dipped the clutch and gave her some revs until the water cleared, which it did. I then drove off but the car feels very very weird now. For the first couple of miles the gears felt oddly spongy, third was really strange, almost like I had filled the gearbox with sand or porridge. That's almost subsided but now the engine has started making a strange whirring noise which is pretty loud, and I'm struggling to set off in first gear with juddering. The juddering starts right at the last part of the biting point, oddly when the car is moving, not when you first start to release the clutch. However once moving the car isn't missing a beat? When I try starting the car it feels like the battery is flat, but it's brand new?
Any suggestions? Anything I can do visually? My dad is taking a look this weekend but wondering whether I need to stop driving it
