Bucket of water in boot

Leaking roofs and window seals, blocked channels, and cracked rain rails.
If there's water getting in, look here.

Whoah, £79 stg for westco battery! steep innit?? oh well, such is life in the MX5 world! :(



They are pricey but a Halfords job will cost you €60 and it won't fit your mounting tray and on a hot day will cause lots of nice condensation in the boot. Also, when you're selling, I think it says a lot about a car and its owner when they bothered to source and pay for the proper equipment :)



nuff said, I'll get a Westco! :D



BTW if you know anyone in NI who will allow you to use their address for delivery, do so. You'll save about €20 in shipping.....the joys of our rip off republic :(

if you have to go the hose route try spreading a little talcum powder around areas that may be leaking, close the boot and hose all areas. when finished open the boot and you should be able to find your leak.
