It is pretty clean fresh water. Not sure that I have access?? Subject to insurance claim.
If I could get access I am thinking I should take out seats, take out carpets, remove door cards, Gerni all mud out of doors etc and from underneath.
The issue is if the motors no good not worth doing anything I'm guessing??? But I don't know.
What should I do, what is the flushing routine you're talking about?
So my job list:
- take off door cards remove mud from nooks and crannies
- dismantle computers and let them dry out
- contact cleaner onto electrical connections
- Drop all fluids? Flushing procedure?
For any chance of saving anything you need access asap otherwise will have to rely insurance, no snorkle in that much water it has to be cactus.

Petrol MAY be OK , as I have recovered an RRC which had a gutful. Plugs out turn over to blow the water out. Cleaned the ECU with clean water and dried with Coleman lamp and air bed inflator.
Diesel not likely to survive.
Really the car will plague you with errors from now on even if you get it going. Auto? if so the XYZ will have to be dismantled and cleaned.
I once recovered my brother's Vauxhall Viva after it had water half way up the windows in the 74 Brisbane flood. Even it with NO electronics used to plague them with rotting bulb holders etc .
IMHO you should cut your losses and have it written off.

Mmmm quite so!!!!!
Feeling pretty stupid now, I'm dressing it up as "one of life adventures" but I just wrecked a really good car. Spoke to Gympie Landrover this morning he said that the motor should be fine, it's the electrics that'll be the problem. Bearing in mind that the binnacle and steering wheel went under.
