Went out earlier and drove for about a mile through a flooded road, towards the end it got rather deep!

anyways the engine was fine and no signs of any water getting into it.

Parked up at tescos then when i got back to the car a hour later it refused to fire. it kept turning over but would not catch, eventually it went and fired up fine, drove back no problems at all, stopped at post office and went to start it up again, fired but was very slow and sluggish to fire, drove home no problems at all.

so it drives fine, runs fine, but does not like starting.

has it got water in somewhere?
