hello, not sure if this is the right place to post this but...
I had the jack out last week when it was time to change the brakes. On replacing the jack i realised that the well below the jack was full of water, i had a look today and found what looks like a drain point that i think is blocked.
My question is; is this actually a drain point? If it is where does it drain too (i tried to push a rod through the hole but i couldn't get it very far in) could i push a drill bit through (ie is it routed straight down or does it twist and turn)

thanks in advance for any info (or pics!) on the matter

Are you talking about the rubber bung in the spare wheel well

I think he means the ventilator low down on the rear inner wings?

If water is getting in, time to do a search and put a stop to it

dave2006

no its directly below the jack on the passenger side

dave2006

is the ventilator the black plastic thing (for want of a better description!)

You might need to remove the bumper to check what going on

thanks for the reply, do you know if there is a drain tube that exits under the car in that area (around the passenger side wheel arch) ?

No it doesnt drain, in a classic. Id same issue, mine was leak in rear light cluster, took it out cleaned up and resealed.

Had to just drain water using towel and just soaking it up.

As said, the black plastic things are vents that expell excess cabin pressure when opening and closing the door

Thanks for the reply(s)
I think i may have had the wrong end of the stick, I thought the water passed through that area under the jack and was sitting there because of a blocked drain. I now realise that the water shouldn't be there in the first place. D'oh
I'll investigate the light and the seals around the area now!
