Usually comes in round the lights.
Thanks, Dave,I'll get the hose on it and check it out. I rustproofed and painted the boot on Thursday, it rained last night and by this morning there was an inch of water in there, I can't work out how it could have gotten in sooo quickly...

If it's a massive leak, climb inside the boot with a torch, close the lid and get a (good;-)) friend to play a hose on it. Another trick I've heard of but not tried is to sprinkle talcum powder over the likely places - this will show the water runs.
Thanks again, Dave, it's curious but I tried all the above (below) and using a hose for ten minutes - nothing! It started raining and there's a puddle in the boot again! ;-(
I won't give up... cheers mark mcr
