I have had the break light warning light coming on since I bought the car. It often happens when I indicate left.

When it rains water accumulates in the left had side of the boot, I thought it was the aerial leaking, but sealing that didn't sort it.

What an arse, Left signal brings on the break warning light, why didn't I put 2 & 2 together to realise the rear left light cluster was leaking?


DOH! :oops:

think my cab may have a water related problem too. The central locking will sometimes decide to lock the car when I'm driving down the road or if I try unlocking the car from the key fob, the alarm disarms but the doors wont unlock. Then when I use the key to unlock the door, thepassenger door will stay locked. The central locking essentially cuts out!!


Think it may be water in the relay or servo or something??? NOt quite sure really!

Funny how things seem so simple when you finally figure them out!

My central locking has taken on a life of its own. The control box was/is being leaked on to due to a detached A-pillar drain tube, so I put the control box in a plastic bag and sealed it. The locking worked ok for a day or two but now it works the front doors fine, but the back doors won't unlock at all. Even with the key they won't unlock.

I'm stumped now. The worst bit is, I'm due to have a broken window replaced and need to open the back door!! Arrrggggggg I hate it!
