Hi All,
Been a member for a while, but dont often get time to post (lots of useful info on here that has really helped me fix some problems, - sothanx :-) ) Got a big water problem though....
I have an 98 LS400 an have noticed that whenever it rains or the car gets wet that the spare wheel dish in the boot fills up with water (sometimes up to 2 inches). As a result my spare wheel has corroded, but I cannot seem to find where the water is running in.
I have checked the drainage tubes from the sunroof and they are bone dry on both sides. There is no residue on the paint finish within the boot for me to trace where the water may have come from. The seals around the boot all appear to be in good condition too - Im completely confused and desparately need help! I have removed the draingage bung in the spare wheel dish for now to stop the water building up, but will need to plug it back in when the winter fully creeps back.
Does anyone know or have an idea where the water could be coming from, or how I can stop this as Im worried this will cause more problems - especially with the electrics? I have spoke to Lexus Milton Keynes and they "dont know" unless they can take a look at it... :-( but Id rather sort it myself.
Any help is appreciated guys....help!?
cheers
Don
absolutley love the car, just a shame about this annoying prob!
