Went to put the rest of the interior back in after having the carpets etc out for a bit to find and fix some water leaks, and noticed the underlay in the front footwells was a bit damp at the leading edge :(

So took that back out and stripped the wipers etc off to check for any other leak paths - found a rather obvious leak where the wiring passes through the bulkhead under the wipers so dried that off and covered it in silicon. Looks like one of the water guides had a clip broken at some point as the yellow foam stuff under there was hanging down instead of being held up secure. Couldn't see anything amiss around the pollen filter area though so unsure about that side at the moment - hoping the rubber skirt bit was slightly out of position around the filter although the filter was dry.

Also took the time to clean the muck at the bottom of the screen where the scuttle clips in and covers it, loads of gunk in there! :rolleyes:

Today I washed the car, then clayed 2/3rds of it. Couldn't finish due to getting very low on clay lube and daylight, so the rest of the claying and some wax is next weekends job.

Yesterday I attacked the car with Tardis so now it has no tar spots any more. Also replaced the R badges.

Did the badges come with an adhesive back ?
