leaking cerbera

[build]

just brought my cerbera privately which i am very pleased with, but notice when it rains water seems to be getting in the drivers footwell soaking the carpets. Has anyone experienced this?

Comes up quite often on here a few different causes, my experience has been coming from the engine bay along pipework and wires through the bulkhead seals and then running down the pedals and dripping on the mats. It was a perished seal that caused mine.

I had a the same problem, just looked out the receipt for fixing it "re seal master brake cylinder" can't see how that fixed it, but I'm sure some kind person will explain why.

Welcome Build,

sorry cant help re the leak, but just wondered what colour is the new car?

master cyllinder seal lets water in hence the bill, i had that sorted.

its baically probably missing a few grommets from the bulkhead, coming in around the master cyllinder and probaly around the front of the doors.

Dont think you will ever cure it completely, its part of the character!!

Strange!! I had a leaky footwell in a silver cerb too
went back to Castle for a new seal.
Another silver cerb YES, FAR BETTER THAN BLUE.

Oh and check out the list on the link above, and to make life easier, dry the floor out then lie in footwell while car is hosed by trusty assistant to see if you can spot the source
