Make sure the drain holes in the door bottoms are present and clear, the rain fills up the inside of the door which then leaks out of the actual door from the bottom edge of the doorcard! Likewise the gaskets around the check straps need to be good.

Check the seals, both round the doors and the one the windows pushes up into. Check the door isn't misaligned - it might be squeezing the seal out of line

Thanks for all the tips, will have a good look tomorrow to see exactly where it is leaking from!

Hi SS, it doesnt actually look much like a cooper though, I have seen these at the lego stores in Denmark and they are pretty unrealistic... Apart from the fact that when you try to open the doors or bonnet/boot, then bits fall off.... so at least that bit is correct :-)

Just bought 'Traxxas 6010 - Body and cage top'. I think It's around 2 years now since I started looking for one. :) It took me 6 months to get the spoiler for it.

Richard Burns was a superb driver. Rather than the balls out attitude that Colin had, Richard thought about his driving in a technical way..........genius!

Anyone need a pc? Got a spare one which I can build up for around £150. quad core, 4gb ram, dedicated graphics card, big hard drive. It'll do anything, even light gaming.
