Also read the comments, as 'sufsRS' appears to have found the source of the Nile plus the reply from 'steview9899' (not me) with a fix.


I wonder if a cheap Borescope camera would help visualise the location??

My God - that's it exactly


Not a single Vauxhall forum mentions this, nor any of the pretty knowledgable people I've been talking to about it!


Sir - I owe you. Thank you so much!


I have one of those little cameras somewhere... but it seems that "sufsRS" has found the root of the problem anyway. I HATE taking bumpers and things off, but will have to have a look, if the weather ever improves.


My Rover had a wet boot for the 12½ years I owned it, despite many interventions including sealing the lights, vent, and even the chrome strip down the side, and liberal applications of Captain Tolley's to the screen trim fasteners. Depressing that a much more modern car is still made with problem like this
