CAR TROUBLE

[Joe Harts dancing pants]

Hope someone can help here, everytime I brake there is a large sound of water gushing towards the front of the car (from the passenger side).

Probably due to all the rain but has anyone else had this issue or heard about it, is it easily fixed, going to the garage this weekend but thought I would ask on here first

I've had same sought of sound and it turned out to be a build up
of water inside the door. If you find it to be the same open your
door and there are two rubber drains covers at the bottom of the door
just poke your key in and it releases the water.

I had this years ago in my Ford Fiesta. When I investigated there were 2 inches of water in the spare wheel bay under the boards in the back of the car caused by a tiny leak in the rear window seal.

Well mine was the 1980s one that had two plywood boards as the floor of the boot just inside the back hatch, and underneath them was the spare tyre bay. That's where the water was.

I was baffled as to how the water got there because it obviously didn't come from below as there was no hole in the bottom of the bay and anyway the water would have drained back out of such a hole. I then noticed that when it rained a drip of water occasionally fell from inside the rear window on to the floor of the boot. I found there was a leak in the window seal and sealed it up with thick tape and some glue.
