Does my car want a divorce?

alanjay · 9th January 2016, 19:08

Love my car but recently it's started showing signs it doesn't love me.
Aside from still unresolved problems with radio and cruise control, this morning I went to go shopping and found all windows running with condensation.
Quick check, footwell behind driver's seat is wet, first thought, sunroof drain failed, weekend is booked so will investigate next week.
Just wondering why Connie can't wait for me to resolve one issue before starting another.

Because it's old and decrepit, a bit like most of the owners these cars are not in their first flush of youth, and with older cars, you inevitably get less reliability of components such as seals etc.

I resolved my leaking boot problem, by letting someone else drive my ZT for a bit

I've drawn up a prenuptial agreement for mine, but she wont have nothing to do with it.

I bought mine a spanking paddle, a good thrashing cured all ills.

All this wet weather of late can't be much good for them. They just don't get a chance to dry out. I can't wait for some nice clear frosty days..

I bought mine new mats, hekos, a dash cam and she rewarded me by peeing in the passenger footwell on xmas day

I am getting the same problem with rear drivers side footwell,at the moment putting an absorbing towel there each night and drying on radiator during day. Boot dosen't seem wet so it must be door trim problem. When is it going to stop raining

I will never complain about water leaks in a Rover, as a Scimitar GTE owner. 75 water leaks pale into insignificance. The Scimitar has its own microclimate. :O
