Water has got in ??

[S2central.net]

I'm going to be put the scud on myself now, but mine is absolutely bone dry. Never had a problem with water ingress in the boot or anywhere else.

I think the water in the boot is much more prevelant with the older Type 89 coupes - including 3B engined S2's.

Agree, my previous two coupes were a veritable swimming pool of water in the boots.
Current MY 95 coupe is as dry as my bank account.

Actually just checked the family album to see if any components on the tailgate or rear lights are different. But - NO...

Over time, the factory must have sussed a better way to adjust the bump stops on the tailgate and learnt how to seal up the rear lights better.

My lights have corroded cos i have a dodgy brake light on the rear left cluster from the metal being a mess!

Must be also why my car always steams up, annoys the **** out of me!

As you say - there is no difference in the parts..... and from experience, they all leak eventually.

I've now re-sealed all 3 of my coupes to stop rear end leaks.

one '96 2.0 coupe
one '95 ABY coupe
one '92 3B coupe

don't you 6 speeders think you've got anthing special

Alistair - you are the Coupe owning king then - heheh... Have you had to seal round the rear lamps or the tailgate seals to cure these leaks. I'm asking cos I have surely brought the full power of murphy's law onto myself for saying my car is dry

It has always been the rear lights for me.
The 2.0 had a wet rear seat footwells. Caused by the drivers side rear lamp cluster leaking. Water collected under the plastic bin in the boot, then during driving it'd slosh forward - under the rear seat bench and then down into the footwells somehow.
Both S2s have leaked on the passenger side - making the spare wheel well damp on all the formed carpets.
