Re: water in passenger footwell

After years of finding water under the carpet in either the driver's side or, occasionally, the passenger side and trying various things, I have finally solved the mystery. Rainwater was getting in through the windscreen seal at the top. Some OC1 sealant solved the problem.

Re: water in passenger footwell

Hi. I hope that you have solved your problem of water getting into the footwell. I, too, had the same problem on both the passenger and driver sides. I cured the problem using a lot of outdoor silicone sealant: 1. Sealing under the rubber strip which runs along the drainage channel (I found that wat...

Re: Tiny water leaks! Engine and footwell

Hi. I've had the same problem with water in the driver's side footwell. I think I've traced it to rainwater dripping from the windscreen channel and getting onto the bulkhead above the driver's footwell. I put a small amount of water with fluorescein tracer on the bulkhead and (somehow) it made its ...

Re: Nearside electric window problem...

I must admit that I only vsually checked the wires. Just got a multimeter a couple of days ago and so far properly checked the switches and the orange wire which I thought would be the problem looking at the wiring diagrams (these were ok). I guess it will come down to striping insulation off all th...

Re: Nearside electric window problem...

Hi, I have a problem with the nearside electric window: It will go down but not up when using the switch in the passenger side door. It won't do anything with the switch in the driver's door. I've studied the wiring diagrams and read everything I can on the forum but can't work out what is going on...

But just look for signs of damage and join up the same colours where you find damage. 8)

Central locking often fails, too. :?
Yes, I had problems with the central locking a while ago and found that it was a break in the yellow wire.
Thanks for your help :)

Re: Nearside electric window problem...

Hi. :) A common electrical fault is where the loom passes from the A pillar into the door, usualy the driver's side. If you strip off some of the insulation often you can see breaks in the wires and/or insulation. Easy enough to solder in a short extra piece, or new looms are available, but not che...
