Thanks Adam, the coolant level hasn't dropped at all, which leads me to believe it could be the screen washer bottle. I don't know anywhere else on the front of the engine that would leak pure water. As I said, it's dripping in 3 places but I think that 's just because the drip, wherever the...

OK, tomorrow I'll get underneath and see what's going on. Thanks for all the help.

Hi, the cars developed a slight water leak from the front of the engine. It drips in three places, from left and right side and in the middle. I think this is due to the water running along a lower cill. I'm sure it is only water as there's no smell or taste of antifreeze in it. Could this be...

Hi Eddie, what is the make and model of the panel? I think I'll buy one for peace of mind. Cheers mate, Sonny

I've done the test in the dark and sure enough light went out after 2 minutes. I sat in the car for another 10 minutes and nothing happened. Maybe I do just need a bigger battery. Plenty of time between now and next April when the car will parked up for 2 weeks. Thank you for all the replies...

Thanks for that Marty, I'll be out soon sitting in the car, in the dark, like a total pervert! I've just watched the vid for the filter that you've developed and I'll be ordering one if necessary. Thank you again for your help.

Thanks for all the replies. I've checked the battery and its a Varta 95Ah, 830A. It's been fine till it was left for a week. I'm undecided which route to go down, I'm leaning towards a jump pack as I have bikes and other cars that might benefit one day.

I've had the car two years. The battery is about 9 months old. I did a search on batteries on here and to be honest, got totally bamboozled.

Hello, I recently left my 2000 P38 4.6 petrol for about a week and the battery didn't have enough power to start the car. It started straight away from a jump start from a heavy duty battery. What can be draining the battery so quick? I have to park the car up for 2 weeks next April at...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.

That's great news, I'm not as thick as I thought....

I've seen posts on here recently where members talk about on board fuel consumption readings. How do I turn this on, and where is it displayed? I'm embarrassed to post this but I'll never know unless I ask.

Thanks to you all for great advice. I’ve sealed everything I could get my hands on. The only job outstanding is the A/C drains, which I can’t find. Are there any photos available on here? Failing that, I’ll go back to the garage.

Thanks Pete but I think that from the amount of water(the carpets soaking wet), it's more than screws leaking. As I've said, the foam that sits under the screen, inside the air intakes, is all but gone. Could it be rain getting in there?

Definitely not coolant, no smell at all. Wife reports that water was dripping on her ankle/leg on our last trip out. Seems to be behind glove compartment.

Sorry, I should've been more specific. The car's a 2000 P38 4.6 petrol auto. I changed the pollen filters and rubbers last year so I have ruled them out. Also, when I put the car up on ramps there was water running out of the cill on the passenger side.

Once again I have a wet passenger footwell carpet. A friend of mine unblocked a drain pipe last year but I don't know where it is. Also, I've noticed the foam under the air vents below the windscreen is virtually non existent, could the rain be getting in there? Would the foam actually stop the...

I can't help with your problem but if its any consolation,I have the same problem.I have to be right beside the drivers door for it to even think about working. Good luck! t

Just a thought, but if it is the head gasket, would there be an obvious water presence in the oil? I checked the oil before the car was taken away and it looked fine.

Thanks but still no joy. I've clicked everything to the bone!, It doesn't matter, I'll try again tomorrow.
