water in the boot

can try

tighten the rear door catch

put black silicone , can't remember the proper name round the rear trim and let it dry , lol

or replace rear door rubbers think there quite expensive , but urs is a 5 door so not sure the price difference between the 3 and 5 door

remove the rear carpet to dry ,

sit inside the car , get someone to put a hose pipe on the back door to see where it's coming in ,also put the hose underneath and coming through the boot welds

hdc light

check fuse

see wires haven't come off the back or been disconnected

remove leads from battery for 30 mins to reset all the ecus etc and reconnect battery

reversing lights, bulb fuse or switch , earth

when u have the clutch done im not sure if the slave is inside the bell housing ,make them to check or replace ???

hope that not telling u how suck eggs as u know landies

Water in the boot......another thing to check is remove the rear door card and check the vapour barrier is intact and sealed all round........mine leaked after it went in to LR for a new rear window and they butchered the vapour barrier.
