Good use for Sunday Newspapers!!

Well I have used about four months worth so far.............Two days of heavy rain and the r8 has turned into a colander, both rear wells and passenger front. Drove back from Devon yesterday and spent the evening with sponges and newspaper. Any ideas, Picador said there was no leak!!, the amount of water cannot just be door seals.........

i had this on an old car.. only way i found problem was to sit in the car and get a mate to run hose on car till i found the leak.

hmmm sounds familiar i no exactly how u feel the hose is the best trick

Well booked into Picador for Thursday, will see if they can sort it plus the stereo problem!!

I feel really lucky, given the number of Ro's & R8's suffering leaks. Drove my Ro back to Hertfordshire from the Isle of Bute yesterday in a biblical downpour and it's still dry! I know this doesn't help you guys with leaks, but just sayin...

Mine has been dry so far...
But I did notice some slight dampness under the mat at one point.

Oh well. At least its a Chevvy RWD V8 in RHD

Was there no dampness on your drivers seat caused by squidgy pants on hot days?

Door seals I expect Chris.

Mine had damp carpets front driver and passenger side and one rear footwell. I thought the same as you, cant be door seals...Took it to Picador's just after I bought it and they replaced 2 or 3 of the doors seals under warranty and never had problem again after that (well, once they dried out anyway!).
