After som help guys.

Ive noticed my boots leaking inside and i can see where it's dripping from but not sure how the water is getting there?

Any ideas as it's getting soaked

 

Looks like spoiler holes.

 

rear lights , the classics are renowned for this , so id check them

 

Do a search on here: there are about six places a classic boot can, and does, leak.

 

he has a UK300

 

OK, four places...........

 

Your lucky by whole carpet is soaked

 

It;s not leaking from the spoiler and the rear lights would surley wet the carpet on the corner. Not the middle...........

I can feel/see the water dripping from the upper part of the boot just past the seal.

Anybody have an idea on this leak

 

After complety stripping the boot area i've found that the water was coming under the rubber boot seal. I've used a roof/gutter sealent around the whole boot strip and all seems good after a 5min spray with the hose

Also noticed that the rear lights are leaking too!

I pulled the old foam seal off and sealed it with silicone but it's still leaking

Any ideas what i can use (sealent wise) from B&Q tomorrow???

 

Get some caravan/boat sealant, called carafax i think or it might have changed its name to id35 (i think?).

Its a non setting sealant but is very good, i use it on my caravan. If you need it to come apart then it will, but if you use a normal sealant you will struggle.

Hth

 

Only use not setting stuff on lights as you will end up with a big problem if you need to get one out. I would just newgaskets from a dealers as any sealant is going to be messy

 

I will put a pic of my boot that will shock you.

 

Will see what B&Q have tomorrow as i want to put the carpets ect back in asap.

I know that the roof/gutter stuff doesn't set and thats sticky as ****!! Will it do the trick it i apply loads

 

Mate, you have been TOLD what to use. Buy Carafax, ebay do it, as do major caravan dealers.
Don't p*ss about with B&Q "might work" stuff.....

 

The only prob with that is waiting for delivery.

Would prefer to try and do it tomorrow if i can get a good alternative from a hardware store.

 

NO!

 

There ISN'T a good alternative! Don't you have a caravan place near you?

 

No mate. Not that i know of......

Could check halfords?

 

Halfords don't sell it chap,I just bought a 380m tube off Ebay for 6 quid free delivery,only getting it as my boot looked like a swimming pool and I took off the spoiler and the rusty nuts and then sandwiched some **** from Halfords,but now going to do it correctly as the above poster said

 

Isn't this place just down the road from you ?

Halfords do sell Carafax, at least thats where I got mine from about 3 years ago. A quid a tube. I called a Halfords, asked them to check who has stock, they told me what store, and I went and got it.

 

NowAdays they don't chap...Unless they have some lurking in the store room

 

No, I don't think they do, they were selling it off for £1 a tube.

 

I paid £6 for some last night off FleaBay.Only got it as I was reading this ! If a job is worth doing........Yet again a thumbs up for SN !

 

Sorted it with roof/gutter seal and it's spot on. Gave it a good 5 min spray and also washed it later on too.

That stuff stays soft and grips like ****, also weather proof

 

Best of luck

 

Lol.

I'm sure i won't need it, but thanks.
