Ian, I had a similar failure on mine last week, a small hole in the wheelarch/door shut, but on removing the plastic trim I found this:





And that wasn't everything I had to cut out. It has a big hole in the sill that isn't visible with the cover in place, so I will be doing that in the summer.

I'll wait and see on monday as this is the earliest they can look at it. would look at it myself but i just haven't got time at the moment.
Thing is even if it costs a couple hundred for them to do it its still worth it as everything on the car is mechanically sound and I won't get another car with 12 months for that money
