Wet in Newcastle!!!!

  Top of Page

Hey guys,

im sure that there will be a lot of post about the weather in Newcastle. My office got flooded with water waist deep. My car also took some water on with a lot of water in the cabin!

Now as we know the B4 has it Amp in the cabin floor, and as a result of the water i now have no sound sad  is there anything else i should be worried about?

anyone else have any other stories?

I'd be worried about your water logged leather and carpet,  its gunna smell, and i know from experience that the smell wont go away, My shop also got flooded and one of my apprentices rang me at 3am cause he didnt know what to do :ohmy: anyway my car is still in the body shop as i didnt want to take it in this weather in case the paint hadn't cured properly so I'll have to wait till tuesday for it....... 4 weeks without my baby now:cray:

Push to get it written off. Even if you love the car, the resale and ongoing insurance costs just will not be worth the pain and effort.

The unwritten rule is supposed to be that if the water got above the glass they write it off....but its never happened to me.

As for teh amp and stereo equipment, you might find with some TLC it comes back. you may have only blown a fuse or suicide circuit. Speakers, once dried will definitely be reusable.
