Wet patch in the small well in the boot

Hi, This located on the right side [ below petrol cap ] The only part that gets wet is the base not the sides, cant find where it comes in. Any ideas. thanks Roy

This sounds like it might be the seals around the tail lights.

could be dripping down from the clips which locate the bottom of the rear screen? Feel up through the bottom of the rear parcel shelf when it has been raining.

Rear Light Seals.

But this subject is is brought up on a weekly basis with loads of threads - maybe a search would have been quicker....

If the car is a tourer then it`s unlikely to be the rear light seals

In that case it could well be the Rear Light Wiring Loom Seal.

Does it have a sun roof? if so check the drain pipe in the back of the cubby there, there is a join which may be seeping...

as he said! Not the lights on a tourer as they are designed very differently

the only leak I had on a tourer was from the side rear window frame.

You've heard the saying it's got everything but the kitchen sink
Well us 75 owners have even got a kitchen sink

Jokin aside sounds like your rear light seals
Take both lites out and swap seals over sometimes works or just replace with new
