Can you recommend someone in the Midlands?

[hsyben]

My E85 has sprung a leak into the interior and the carpet is soaking wet. I don't have a garage so can anyone recommend someone in the Worcester/Midlands area who might fix the leak and dry the carpets for me, please?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I can help find and fix the leak for you- but I am Lincoln way

That's a very kind offer, thanks.

You are over 2 hours away so I'll see whether I can find someone closer. If not, though, please can I get back to you?

So, I found a good one-man-band who sorted my leak out. Turns out that it wasn't the door seal, it was to blocked roof drains. Despite my previous garage telling me that they had cleaned the drains they were both blocked solid up to the top. My guy had to take off the soft top to get enough access to clean them out. Glad I didn't attempt it myself.

If you look under the car just in front of the rear wheels you will see the drains, usually covered with a rubber valve cap that allows the water to drain. Best practice is to remove these rubbers to prevent future blocking and rod the drain out using something like a net curtain wire or thickish strimmer wire that wont bend so easily. Rod the drain from underneath, you can pour a jug of water down from the top to ensure they are clear. Well worth doing a couple of times a year especially on the left side as the roof motor lives in there and can get submerged and cause it to fail, best to move the motor/pump to the boot so it can't get wet but that's another job that the brave take on, Alan Number5 on here is the expert for roof and relocation, based in Bristol and can do the job for a very decent price.
