owner to be, water ingres q

hi again all, is water ingress on a 75 as bad as everyone seems to make out ? do they all suffer from it or is it just "your luck"

thanks

my ZTT is dry as a bone and the last one I had was too. The 75 before that had a leaky sunroof which was easily fixed

was that just down to blocked sunroof drains ?

Im on Rover 75 Tourer number 4 and all have been dry. I guess the people who say that they all leak are the same people who say they all have head gasket problems. I havent had any of those either.

the rear lights sound a doddle to fix ! what do you mean when you say trims ? the colour coded / chrome strips you get along the doors in line with the handles ?

cheers

I've had 4 saloons and all had water leaks into the boot! Various causes all well documented on here. I do think most saloons leak into the boot sooner or later. Easily rectified though
