Water puddle in centre of boot

[FlipFlopGriff]

Noticed it the other day after it had rained but it hasn't rained since. Big pool of water in the centre of the boot this morining and can't see quickly where it was coming from. The edges under the seals are dry and I suspect it may be coming in through the o/s reflector although I would maybe expect this if the car was paked from end down the slope - it was parked front end up the slope??????
Any ideas?
PS - We have a Griff which is in for a respray and have a Tuscan as a temporary replacement.

Glad you pointed that out! Not tempted then??

Anyway, what was you're problem?

Calm down dear. It's only a TVR you know.

Oh yes, wet boot...


...er dunno. If the boot seal ('onk 'onk) is OK it shouldn't but you know what it's like when you park a Blackpool Bucket on the merest of inclines.......

Not sure if this helps - but the first time I washed my tuscan I parked it nose down hill (opposite to you)and water collected in right hand side of boot. This seemed to happen because too much water collected in the sill above, i.e round where the petrol cap is and on other side, and the excess I think went under the seal round the boot. I now park the car nose up the drive to overcome this.

It was nose up on the drive which is why I'm surprised it leaked, ie water should clear from the arse end.
Beano - no offence but no i'm not tempted. Thought I would like it more as I nearly put a deposit on the first showing at the Motor Show (1999??) but sadly I am disappointed. Defo wouldn't swap the Griff.

Bev I will show you a cure for the water around the boot edge when I see you at one of the South-yorks meets. I did a mod on mine before that happen. The mod I did was published in the Sprint mag sometime last year under mods by Clive Westmacott.
