it was a very good run even though we did get wet. but at least we had a working heater now so we could warm up after the fireworks.
but once again i have a passenger footwell full of water :) still dont know where its coming from.
see you all next sunday.


Had the same problem mate Checked door seal all ok, checked sunroof not brilliant but couldn't justify 1/2 in of water in footwell lifted carpets monday morning found big dent/hole in floor pan yay! another job to sort.

Also a VERY BIG THANK YOU to phoebe for a jump start in the middle of nowhere!!!!!

I dont have a clue where the water is coming from in mine, all the door seals are good and the window rubbers are good, i guess there must be a hole somewhere lol. its the same in the boot too :shy:

i found the best way is to sit in the car while its raining or get someone to put a hosepipe on the car and you can usually see where its getting in, mine was coming through the airvents and checkstrap gaskets by the door hinges, i also had another leak that came through the bulkhead where a rubber grommet was missing, it then trickled down into the drivers footwell, you will have to do some detective work ash :)

We enjoyed the fireworks can't say that we enjoyed the trip home. It was fine once we got back onto the A30.
Simon was getting a bit fed up with them damn B roads!! :owned:
Glad we had a big and little torch. One was handy for him to look at the road signs out of the window and the other for me to map read - i thought i did a good job really!! :xxx:
