decent specialist
Have noticed I have a leak on my 90 hardtop. When it rains it does not let anything in but when you set off the water just run towards the back and Censored in drivers side right at the back corner.
Also need a replacement passenger door handle.
I have garage warranty from when I purchased the landy, its just out of land rover warranty. Called them today and warranty people are being ok, troubke is garage cant have labour charges over 60 quid an hour. Does anyone on here know a decent independent that I can go to for this in Birmingham area?

Cheers

Just checking you're sure it's rain - I thought my hardtop leaked but it's sheer volume of condensation because I have no roof lining. Am sure you've ruled this out but it caused me to scratch my head for a while Whistle

This had crossed my mind but I think condensation would not produce the amount of water that comes through. I need to pour some water down towards the back to see if it comes through to double check

I was unpleasantly surprised at how much collects over a short space of time - certaintly enough to soak a shoe or trouser leg if you brake too suddenly! I spent a long time trying to force water in from otuside, slapped a load of captain tolleys creeping crack cure in every place I could find, only for the CTCCC to accumulate in the gutter because there was nowhere for it to fill!

In the end I rigged up parcel tape (!) to try to stop water running down in the gutter and instead onto the loadspace floor to prove it was condensation - hey presto dry gutters!
