So rain stopped about 12.30. So drove home to have a look at the leak. Ripped the rear seats out and the sound deadening under them as that was soaking wet.
Took up the boot carpet I have and noticed most of it was on the passenger side. So pulled the carpet off the rear arch and that stupid little plastic plate had come lose and the carpet or whatever it is in the passage behind it has gone. So cleaned and dried everything, stuff some material into the passage to stop the water flowing, glued the plate in place and re carpeted the arch.
De tuned the car a bit and then off to my local MOT centre. But they have stopped working for the day which is fair I guess. So asked some questions.
1) need access to the rear doors from the outside. Unless there are no rear seat. Good thing I did not put them back in. So they can stay out for now.
2) steering wheel law has not come into force yet, so as long as the airbag light is not on it does not matter.
3) boot does not need to open so the solution to that can wait til after the MOT.
So wait til after Xmas now to drive my car, last time will be tonight. Then it's borrow my parents car for Monday and Xmas day as they are in the carribean.
