I'd say change all fluids first, pull the plugs out and turn it over for a while, maybe with a bit of oil down plug holes, just to make sure its all back out.

ive always herd that you can wash out small engines with diesel then wash it again with petrol to get rid of the diesel. not sure if this is the case for a car engine tho

Na, you just need to be prepared for some maintenance after :wink:

You will need to pull the dizzy cap off and dry any moisture in there too. Also, if the water had any kind of mud in it, you will need to clean the rear brakes out before the mud chews them to bits.

These are all regular maintenance items so learn how they work and your car will last longer and you will have less dramas with it
