Thats quite a surprise the fishtank in the rear is full of water. Have a look using the search function and you will find hundreds of posts regarding this problem

Don't be silly- it's freshwater not salt..

You'd need a nice carp or two.

My uncles old Cadillac had similar problems and he ended up growing mushrooms in there. Actually, that's not a bad idea- maybe those small, pointy ones...??

couple of soggy black socks, black lab dog and some gutteral noises and the passers by with think there is a seal in it

Good idea, though I hope it's better than the one in the door...

And of course the fish they throw in for it would be a bonus!

Take off the rear trim, remove the awful useless membrane that Land Rover give you & replace with a large thick dustbin bag. My tool tray ha been dry since doing this.

I used a 15kg dog food bag

Please note tho some 15kg bags are bigger than others but mine fitted and had to trim some off
