Help, Got a leak
Noticed my boot carpet was wet on sunday, so removed everything including spare wheel and found about 2 inches of water in the wheel well.
Managed to get it all out but theres more in again today. Through experience are there any common places that the water could be getting in or is it trial and error? Also there is a lot of condensation on the inside of the bootlid. Any help will be gratefully recieved.

Really, mad. Never thought they would cause much hassle. Cheers m8 i`ll start off with them and see if i can fix it, nothing worse when you dont know where to begin.

Rear lights, rear windscreen seal, panel seams around the boot, number plate light wiring grommets, and check also that all the rubber blanking plugs on the rear panel are still in place.
Take the boot liner out and you'll make the detectivework a lot easier.
Do not remove the rear lights until you've ruled other things out. You'll kick yourself if you go to all that hassle only to find the source is a loose bung that just needs pushing back in.
Also - if you have a UK car (and can thus drop the back seat), it's worth getting in there with a torch and shutting the lid.

Thanks Alcazar, i`ll need to get onto this when the rain stops, if it ever does, lol. Seems to be one thing after another at the moment.
