Turned a corner and hit a rather deep puddle, was sure I wouldn’t make it through, but I did. A car ahead of me had just been towed out after it completely died in the water (so I’m hoping I’ve been lucky) Drove home, 5 mins of a journey with no problems, engine sounded fine etc. Just been out to check car, turned over fine but there’s now an engine warning light on. My mechanic is a good 20 mins journey away and I’m concerned about driving there with it. There was a fairly high bow wave the came over the bonnet. Do I leave it to dry out for a few days or arrange for it to be towed? Advice is greatly appreciated.

Well, it may or may not be ok - does the light that is on have a specific symbol? Oil for example...
As it continued to drive then most items should be ok , but the air filter may need replacing for example and checking the oil level in engine and gearbox also needs to be done.
