Took the silver Omega for an MOT (Been off the road for a couple of years), failed with one broken front spring (Eibach) and rear brake imbalance. New Eibach springs ordered and hoping a clean up of the rear calipers will get them freed up enough.

Yes, now in Mobile home, let's see on Monday.

Ye@s, not Estate but Fastback meaning "Short Roof".

So....back to Marks suggestion about the light seal then.

Reduced to robbing her bro's mobile phone?

Headlamp sanding, polishing and lacquering. Not mine, OH's grandmother's clit. Hopefully the old dear will be able to see where she's going now!

EDIT: also serviced FIL's F10 520d for the first time in 4 yrs/15k  . Engine oil was about 20% diesel  hopefully not damaged the poor thing too much!

That won't fill up the spare wheel well on an estate as it will drain into the rear quarters first... Unless sooo much water is getting in that it's running along the rear panel seam, but even then it would have to overflow the lip where the latch is. That said, it could be running down the loom between the rear lights, but it would be coming from higher up...

Any evidence of rust at the bottom rear corners of the rear quarter glass? If yes, then expect a hole behind the black trim. Easy enough to access: remove the inner trim from the C and D pillars and undo the twenty thousand 10mm nuts. Window then comes out and you can access the screws that hold the trim in place. Should be possible to effect a decent repair without it showing past the trim... But whatever you do, don't fill the trim with sealant.

The body vents are into the wheel well, but unless the car was reversed into a pond and left there it should drain out through them. Incidentally those vents are designed to open towards the low pressure at the back of the car as it moves forwards and hang closed when stopped. Ignore all of that, it's an Astra, not the Omega

Estate? I thought he was describing a GTC, or hatch.
