Now I have absolutly no intention of paying for any work done on my bike, as its brand new, not even a year old(k4), so how did ye got on when it happend to you?

Not sure you helped your case too much by running it. If it happens again I would be inclined to run it with the plug removed to give the water a chance to get out rather than causing internal problems. Water doesn't compress very easily and can cause all sorts of difficulties.
As it happens I had an engine from a breaker that had sat for a while with the same problem. The whole of the front cylinder is badly rusted and now only suitable for the scrap or for a big bore kit.
Good luck!
