yorkshire Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Very new so I am sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section but didn't feel it was "technical" So I picked up the 350 yesterday and I noticed a small amount of water in the boot under the spare tyre. It hadn't been there long and doesn't appear to have caused any damage. There was a downpour before I picked the car up and so I think that is what lead to it but obviously it shouldn't have got in. If anyone has any suggestions or could point out the drainage holes that I could check that would be really appreciated as I don't fancy a swimming pool in the boot. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 May be leaking from screw holes on brake lights. Take them off and check all the rubber o-rings are in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thank you for your reply will check this out, is there any other places to check? I think what I am going to have to do is check all the lights etc. I just wasn't sure if this had happened to anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Also look for any non-original/modified/repaired wiring into the car; e.g. parking sensors were dealer fit, and the cable routing into the car can be a bit hit-n-miss and can cause leaks. Also, have a look at the rubber flap type vents in the lower rear corners (near the stereo amp) - they can get broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
