    Do what Ed China did on Wheeler Dealers, rent a smoke machine or borrow one, put it in the car and fill it up with smoke and stand outside and see where it leaves the car, great idea to be fair.

    Sit someone inside the car and have someone run a hose over the outside?

    Does that include bodging the seals with rubber piping rather than buying new seals ? Lol

    Supposedly all of the casts friends and family buy the cars afterwards. Sometimes feel sorry for poor Ed, he seems to do 80% of the work compared to Mike who goes of on jollys to America.

    It's a tv show though. There are faux pas and silly things but these guys are paid handsomely for making a light entertainment show, can't fault
    Them for that

    I wonder if there is in chance that the glass is warped ? , I should of fixed it awhile back as I have had the Saxo a year now , it has become more of a problem with the wind and rain , cheers

    Hello mate , the weird thing it is actually leaking out of the rear speaker / passenger side ! , so I reacons a new seal then :0) .. I took my sunroof out in the summer pain in the arse job to stop the leaks , it worked until today ! , I am not sure if it is a combination of heavy rain and high winds that made it possible for it to get back in ? , jezz I do love these cars but they drive you bonkers at times ! lol

    yeah its a right pain in the arse, its just finding the source of the leak can be tricky. Resolving it is quite simple..

    Ive got a leak coming from my windscreen A pillar at the moment, think its also due to this awful rain we've been having. Right ballache having towels laid out on the floor to catch the drip.
