as some/all of you may be aware from my 'Time to Cry' thread also posted in this new section, i purchased a beauty full cosworth saloon of cossieguy.

its been sitting on the drive since i got her (nose pointing up hill)

As Geoff_W poped round today to pick an ac pump up i showed him inside the car and to my horror found the passagner front and rear foot wells full of water! and i do mean full, rear foot well water level was just about to come over the transmission tunnel!!!!

the cause, a badly blocked battery drain cover.

with the weather were all having at the mo i cant stress enough

Last February the drains on both my 12valve and 24valve Scorpio's were clear. I checked them today and they were almost blocked with build-ups of muck. All are cleared now and water runs out freely. Check em out guys
