I had this problem on a mates, turns out when it runs off the tailgate it collects it a tube and let's it out under the rear bumper and his pipes had just become disconnected only thing is you will need to take the rear bumper off to check

Look in the maintenance section for the rear bumper removal guide you'll see the rubber nipples there

im in a right pickle with this at the moment, cant find the thread to take rear bumper off, so i have no idea, ive dropped a bulb inside the cluster which i caant get out, adding to the fact that i cant get the cluster off, ive also dropped a nut that holds the cluster on down into oblivion, and i have no torch in the house that actually works!!

help?

With the nuts which hold the light on its best to use a socket with a little piece of blutac in it to stop the nuts falling down.

cheers, i know that for net time as the bumpers will have to come of for respraying

i see that it was the plug stopping the light coming off, i didnt want to pull the cluster too hard incase i broke something

i saw the brown pipe, pushed that back in, mopped up all the water, managed to pick the bulb out and put everything back together, dried and cleaned the carpet, looking like new :)

although i need to retrim the boot carpet as its getting tatty, so ideas welcome :D
