    "oh my wiring is acting up, and my fusebox is getting damp"

    That's your windscreen seal/sunroof drains/bulkhead grommets mate. Guaranteed.



    Except when it isn't. Feckin holes around the bonnet pull cable entry. This will be fun..

    That bonnet cable pull is a dirty one - never heard of that being a rot point before

    In the immortal words of the 80s band, Hot Chocolate.


    "it started with a kiss, never thought it'd come to this..."
    A kiss of a stone, in this instance I'd wager.

    Most here are familiar with the seriously tough underseal on the bottom of a mk1/mk2, especially around the rear, and the spare wheel well.

    As the pics show, it's scary what can lie beneath it!

    First pics, the rear bracket for the fuel tank straps. IMG_20211120_225713.jpg IMG_20211120_230804.jpg IMG_20211120_230857.jpg IMG_20211120_225713.jpg

    And here, just a tiny little dent, barely seen, to the side of the spare wheel tub.
