But 'main carpets out' and soaking wet is one of the most unpleasant jobs on any car. And it is not viable to get a garage to do it. And we are not yet accurate and clear about where leaks can occur, given that so very many leaks can occur. I have at least six big leaks on an 06 plate.

So if you take the main carpet out and fix a couple of leaks and put the carpet back in the risk is that the other leaks will start the process all over again.

Not had the problem yet? Of course, not everyone has, but it is only a matter of time unless the car is kept under cover.

So the simple point is that the main knowledge base of Rover 75 enthusiast clubs and forums needs to develop a better and more accurate understanding of the problem and have real fixes ready for people to use.
All of the problem leaks have been discovered & members have documented fixes, all in the "How To" section of the forum.
