I live in Roma in Qld and on the 2nd of March this year the town had its worse recorded flood.
The Ody got a bit more than just it's feet wet but I thought it would be ok with the water halfway up the wheels and only deep enough inside to be the same height as the floor mats.
Got it off to the panelbeaters straight away and they stripped, cleaned and dried the interior.
They gave it back with the speakers not making any sound but the head unit working and a shrug. (Oh and extra noise from the drive belt/alternator)
So I took it to Toowoomba to the Honda dealer.
They pulled it apart and took make a long story short, found about $13,000 worth of work needing to be done. SRS sensors, seatbelt pretensioners, wiring looms, the amp for the stereo, engine control computer etc etc
So the insurance company has written it off and the tow truck comes next week to take it away. :(
