I'm feeling a little ripped off now.. but I'm also feeling dry..

Your not alone mines dry even in a car wash and its NOT a wiz bang late model thing.

You guys should complain!!! My first car was an Austin A70. In wet weather the ritual was this... remove socks and shoes and roll up long trousers, put on raincoat (this was inside the car). Why? Because water poured through the almost non existent sun roof rubbers and splashed up past the pedals for a similar reason. However...no amount of rain ever stopped the motor. It had a waterproof covering of years of greasy gunk all over it.

I recently had the wet foot issue with water coming in and collecting in the driver side speaker. Tracked it down to the seals around front vents above bonnet.
Problem solved, I've silicon sealed the vents up.

Now I don't have a wet foot.

Previously I did a water crossing with my air vents up and washed my firewall out.

You'd think I'd learn after the first F@#k up.
Especially when the first one was a stagnant boghole in the wombat forest.

Sue, I'm sure your time will come. That's when you know you're a defender driver.

Noogie

At least it's not leaking oil or diesel... ... or coolant.... ..... or brake fluid ... or steering fluid... (or upturned prawns like we had last week...)

Next time wear gum boots and toughen up princess...... (I can say this seeing as he's my son...)

If it doesn't leak, how do you know when it's raining?

Umm.. the windscreen is wet and the wipers are working like those from a 1950s holden fj - you know, the ones that when you put your speed up the wipers slow down and when you coast along the wipers speed up... (Oh when 110pete's wipers are turned off they grind to a halt 3/4 of the way down to their stop position and with a couple of wacks on the windscreen they retreat to where they should be stopped near the bottom of the w/s)...
