Well if it's a flooded engine again it'd indicate driver error imo - Jack had that car for years with hardly an issues and now suddenly you seem to have issues constantly! I wasn't actually trying to be a smartarse, I just fail to see how the car is now so suddenly unreliable yet hasn't been tinkered with mechanically since you've had it!

So what exactly would I be doing wrong for it to flood?

I don't know as I'm not there when you drive! Do you move it very very short distances at a time on a regular basis (say on / off a drive, forwards / backwards from a parking space) Rev the engine as you turn it off? I don't know, I just fail to see any other changes that would cause the issues other than change of driver!

Same as before or nothing at all this time? Battery? Left a charger in the car with phone connected? Sub / Amp turning off (if you have them?!) You need to actually give some info if you want help - you really don't help yourself. But tbh before I help any further, go an put a thread in the proper section like anybody else does.

Why do you need to keep quoting the last post in a thread? It's blindingly obvious what you're replying to if you don't do it.

Car is currently at garage.
Not sure what is wrong, will find out later.
Does anyone want to take a guess as whats wrong?
For those that havnt really read the thread.
A few days after I bought the it started to overheat, took it to the garage and they said it needed a new Rad, they fitted the rad and the temp went down, then a week later the temp went back up. I didnt take to the garage. Then my car got flooded, AA came out and they fixed that, they just heated the spark plugs and all was good, then 2 days ago my car flooded again. So it is now atr the garage

Thats on the basis the AA actually discovered the correct problem and fixed it and not just happen to try something which fixed it temporarily
