Same problem here think its the rear lights i'm gonna get them re-sealed and hope that's the problem sorted

 

look around the rear light

other than that, do you have the elec arieal in the boot? if so check the drain pipe is ok

 

yea have the ariel in at the mo, didnt realise there was a drain pipe, cool ill have a look, how do you re-seal the lights? is it costly?

might get some black afterburner lights if this turns out to be the problem

 

or boot seal if orignal lights they wont leek

 

Rear lights are common problem, but I had water coming in where the boot seal was not sat correctly.

 

Theres loads of thrad on here already about this problem,

The rear lights are a weak point, particuly the sealant round the cluster. The cluster bolt in and also use a sealant like the stuff used to fit the windscreen.

With age it degrades and lets water in, check that first I say.

I changed the rear lights on my car, for STi ones. I didn't renew the sealant, thinking the old stuff would do. A month later I had 8 1/2 pints of water in the boot.

I removed the lights, resealed them. Touch wood, I've not had a problem since.

Other than that its the usual aerial and boot lid seal, that could be causing it.

 

No ones mentioned, but I'm sure we are all talking about a classic.
Not heard of any newages having this problem.

 

classic

 

yea was both rear lights, took out a gallon or so of water with a sponge.

took lights, off, sealthem with 'wet grab' instant adhesive

only thing the left lights got a bit wet, now only the indicator is working!

and the two other bulbs have turned quite rusty at the base. have left these blubs out for now. will they start working again if i leave them a few hours to dry, or am i looking at another solution?
