water ingress into footwell

Unread post by steveholl »

Hi folks

here's another perennial problem my cx suffers from and I need to sort soon. It's always raining in glasgow, sometimes I have to bail out the passenger side footwell, its rained in so much. I cant fathom it, it seems to run down near the corner where the bonnet release cable is. Any idea's? it's a proper pest!

cheers

Steve

I thought this was a standard feature?

Remove your LHM tank and you may be in for a nasty brown surprise.

This was discussed, if I recall, in some detail in recent past issues of the 'Citroenian', the CCC magazine....
