Water in the boot

[samcsd]

I took the car to the mech today to check it over, you know make sure I havn't just been ripped off, and good news is I havn't! Bad news is that theres water leaking into the boot, I've found a hole on the bottom just after the seal but water needs to get in from somewhere first and I can see where.

Has anyone had anything like this before?

Have the same problem, its the insulation of the rear lights that dont seal properly...

dad had this in the modeo. you gotta get it sorted he ended up with mold growing as the car doesnt get used much because its just for towing the caravan. you gotta get silicone and take the covers off for the rear lights off and seal it up real good should be fine after that

It will do as a spare for decent few miles but not as a permanent switch

'preciate the offer but im in the middle of nowhere in wales (Y), should be able to get one from the scrappy anyway.
