In decades past, when ignition systems weren't well protected, there
were always cars stuck in flood waters because water had got on the
ignition and the plugs and distributor were wet. The early minis were
particularly prone to conking out, as the plugs and distributor were
right out front and caught everything. As Harry says, check the HT
leads, the plugs and the distributor first before taking drastic
action.

But perhaps the majority of cars are COP these days. So all the ignition
bits as high up as anything on the engine.
