My arse end is leaking :-//

Ayup, got a bit of a problem , lifted the floor panel in the back of the motor and where the toolkit ( jack etc ) in front of it in the Hollie it was wet through , just wondering if anyone's had the same happen .. Is it a new tailgate seal as the one that's on is not very pliable .. Oh yeah , when you lift the panel there is a plastic box attached to it what is that .. Ta in anticipation .. )

they all do that .

It's called a fish tank for good reason........

It was installed for owners of the K & KV6 models - so they always had some water to top it up with, but is shared on diesel models also.

Lol. Mine is bone dry, so that discounts that theory

Mine too. It affects early models. I think there was a modification to the later ones which dried out/prevented the fish tank from filling up.

Have a search.

Mine used to leak untill I refitted the door seal and adjusted the tailgate window...noow its also bone dry...duno which one fixed it though.

Covers every possibly gap/hole with silicon sealant which stopped it happening to mine.

Probably referring to the sub woofer.

It's what LR call a sub woofer. It's crap and often broken.

Can't comment on being crap, but yes, mine was broke.

See what I mean
Mine wasn't broken but the amp was. I fitted an amp that I had kicking about to try out the woofer. At 40Hz it was 10 DB down on the 50Hz sound pressure level. In the world of sub woofers, that is bad.
I fitted a better head unit then blew up the sub!! This gave me an excuse to fit a 10" sub in the cubby instead.
Now I have a proper back massage when required!

I could do with a back massage......

Not really into loud or basey music, never heard the sub, so I don't miss it. The HK system is fine with me, but I removed the Becker head unit and replaced with a Kenwood one which does DAB & Bluetooth.

My sub was extinct like a dodo.
