Hi,
Got a small problem when it rains heavy when i open the boot there is water beading inside the boot on the floor not alot but enough what will this be and will the boot lining kit i have to go in make any difference

It can get into the boot from a number of places, from something simple like a poorly fitting boot seal, to bigger issues such as corrosion/holes in the wheel arches. Another common source is corrosion under the rear window rubber/seal that rots through causing water to drip down into the boot from above.

I wouldn't fit a boot lining kit until you have identified the and stooped the leak if I were you. Not only could it get water damaged if you do, but also it could prevent any water in the boot from evaporating as easily and worsen any corrosion problems.
