i have a leak, i then looked under the car one day when it was on a ramp to find a 3 inch gash under the rear passenger side seat.....

previous owner must have hit a rock or something..
Pipework for the toilet they had in it previously?! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Who does toilet conversions? I want 1 :grin:
Kill two birds with one stone...

1) Have a cheeky crap on a long journey, or when you're stuck in traffic,

2) Get rid of the puddle building up in your footwell!

Win win!! :cool: :cool:
3)makes the car lighter :D

I found that grommet to be a right biatch reattaching it to the drainage tube! :lipsrsealed: Without it attached though, yeh, the water would just run straight down into your footwell!

What I did, to ensure I didn't still have a leak, was to wedge a load of kitchen roll beneath the tube and the grommet. Check in a days time..., if the kitchen roll is bone dry, then hey presto! :wink:
