Wet Boot Mod

If like me you get a wet spare wheel compartment floor, why not try this little mod.

remove the rubber bung forward of the air compressor and cut two slits in it like so.



Then refit it upside down (as in the picture)

As most water tends to collect in this area, it should drain out of the slits, whilst the retained bung prevents mice from accessing a nesting site!

(Yes, I know, fix the original problem, but despite best efforts, not been able to track it down!) .

Reminds me of my old Ford I had, it leaked water into the footwells, I just drilled two holes in the floor pan to let the water out! Mr. Green

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

I popped out the bungs in my old Triumph Herald after hearing a SPLASH early one morning when I dropped my school bag in the passenger footwell. Can still remember the early morning brain slow puzzlement going " SPLASH ???????????????????? Confused Confused Confused Confused Confused Confused Confused " Until it dawned on me why : 3 cm of water after a particularly bad rainstorm and the door seals not fitted properly.

Did sort the doorseals out but never put the bungs back, just in case Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
