Even simpler than that on a Zafira - floor the throttle whilst cranking it (ECU anti-flood mode), which the RAC man told me and more importantly explained why the flooding had likely occurred in the first place (i.e. because he noticed I had cut the grass and asked if I had just moved the car out the way and back again)
Which I had the week before, however the in-dash low oil reminder had also not triggered, and within a week I had a low-oil pressure warning upon starting the car. As it was a Audi approved used vehicle, it came with breakdown cover, and so I called them they came out checked it out, topped up with 1.5 litres of the correct oil, and reported the fault back to the Audi dealer to investigate.
Fortunately I haven't yet had to, but I would rather call a breakdown company on the way back from the middle of no-where in whatever weather conditions, as opposed to sit in a broken down car with kids, and try and google my way out of a breakdown.
