Title: Spare Wheel Well Pond
Post by proberjohn on Mar 12^th, 2007, 8:10pm

I just fitted an "Air in your spare" spare tyre valve extension hose (look at the Pirtek website) and found a lot of water in the spare wheel well.

Any common points of water ingress known??

Regards

John B.

I did have some problems with the rear lights leaking around the seals on the saloon, Not heard of any others having problems though :-/

Lights were my problem on granada, could not trace leak then one day saw trickle from lights, cheked and found one with no seal and the other only held in finger tight, changed all that and no more leaks, hope yours is that simple

theres also a couple of small rubber bungs under the boot carpet. allows the number plate lights wires to pass through the car, perhaps one as become loose or dropped out
