Title: water in spare wheel well
Post by: chrisl_1960 on 10 April 2009, 18:56:42

looking today, there's a small swimming pool under my spare wheel (saloon) the boot seal looks in good condition, can it come from anywhere else?

All I can think of is the boot seal and the seal around the rear light

Not sure here the water comes from, but there should be a rubber grommet in the lowest part of the well, the hole tends to get blocked. It may be worth shutting yourself in the boot, & getting someone to play a hosepipe round the shut lines. Remember to take a torch)  :y

I had a leak like this on my Carlton, it came along a seam somewhere and sealer stopped it.

Can't remember details 9 years ago

Is the grommet missing from the bottom of the well?

going to have a look tomorrow, will make sure that the water can drain, then lock one of the kids in the boot with a torch, might even let them out again afterwards  ;D ;D
