I drown through the floods in Dublin on Monday evening and I went to use my car 3 days later and it will not move. The engine is running but the car will not move. could not push it even with the handbrake down? What can I do?

With the engine is it fighting like brakes are on? Lots of things don't like water if too high up on a vehicle. Brakes rust, calipers rust up but take longer. Clutch if a standard shift might be stuck. Later anything lie bearings CV joints and more. If submerged the renders cars a total loss usually! Depending on location and driving on flooded roads don't go over the height of the tire rubber and if depth is unknown don't try it as it will die out and you won't make your destination anyway so turn around and find another way, T pooby92 User Oct 30, 2011, 5:10 PM Post #3 of 3 (2257 views) Re: Car will not move Sign In You can jack up each corner, one at a time. Try to turn each wheel while in the air. Make sure it is in neutral and the grounded wheels are chocked. This should show you if you have a seized caliper.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
