0:00 Ok, so we've now got the hose up, so it's just testing this rear. So if we jump in this bit here and just quickly jump into the boot area, so we can see the water's on the outside of the car. Right, so now what we've got is, down here we've got a little twisty camera, and what that's doing is it's going up the box section at the back. And there we go.
0:41 So it's that bung. There it is. So it's a common problem on these ones. So that's obviously causing it to leak down the inside of the car, as we can see here. And then what it's then doing is it would fill up inside this box section, and then the only way for it to disappear would be run against this panel here.
1:16 And then when it would then come out, it would come out down here. And then to come out of there, we would then come out of this area here, and then it would then work its way down into the footwells. That would explain why the footwells are wet. So there we go. That grommet is leaking on both sides, but the driver's side is a lot worse than the passenger side.
1:41 So we're gonna advise, obviously, taking the seats out and getting it all up so we can dry it. If I just quickly squeeze out of here and quickly go around to the other side. Reason being is, there doesn't look like there's much water in this side, but if I take this special little machine and turn it on, it tells us if there's any water underneath the carpets without us actually lifting the carpets. So if we put it here, it's reading that there's water underneath the carpet. But if I
2:13 move it across to here, we can see that the reading isn't as high as what it was before. So there's possibly the water has gone into the gully, and that's what's causing it to bleep. So there's not a lot of water under this side, but there is signs of a tiny bit. And if we come around to the front as well, on the passenger side once again. But then if we come to the middle, there we go, so there's actually a trough what runs under here. So I'm probably thinking that
2:46 the water has gone up to the trough, and but as we can see up here it's not sounding, so it's only got to about this far. All right, okay, so a couple of reasons why we like to dry the cars is because, obviously, one, you can get electrical problems; two, you can get mould; and also you can get a nasty smell, which is like a mouldy dirty water smell. And so that's why we advise, obviously, getting them all dried and repaired. And so there we go, that's that one there. Any
