Omega General Help / Re: wet in boot

« on: 22 December 2023, 15:04:32 »

thanks sjc I think that mine is coming from the nearside wing light cluster but I will look in the area you suggest,I have now got to decide whether to take the cluster out and reseal or drill a bleed hole in the spare wheel cabin Disturbing the cluster could make things worse.

I think I have found one leak It is coming from under the rear bumper near side and into the spare wheel compartment via an area which has been poorly treated with mastic in the past.I will  reseal this and go from there.Wish me luck.

update took the spare wheel out and sure enough about an inch of water in base I have never taken it out before and found that a black sealant had been spread in the base.The 2 plugs in the base were solid fixed in base do these have a drain hole if not why are they there.I have cleaned it all out and run water all around the rubber seals but cant find a leak. Question is should the bungs allow drainage and what is the best sealant to use.

Thanks Carfix Do you mean the channel on the body of the car where water drains from the windscreen to the base of the boot opening the channel that has the rubber seal.If thats the case I should be able to see a leak here without getting fully into the boot? I cant see my 87 year old body doing that.Regards Ron

I am getting a wet boot carpet. There is no obvious reason for this but can only  think that the rubber seal is letting water in.I will have to climb into the boot while water is sprayed onto the rear screen. Any other ideas?

Hello Lizzie talking about old people I have recently had my cills welded and a rear brake rebuilt.Ok the welding I could not do but a brake rebuild I would have enjoyed doing but now it is easier to farm it out but I always wonder if the job has been done as well as I would like.At 87 I could be the oldest member of our club. Get it fixed and avoid the stress.
