Hi guys,

My MG is leaking and is driving me mad! I have removed most of the interior and still cant find it and have got to the stage of just wanting it sorted.

Does anyone know of a good body shop around Taunton side of Somerset with a good track record in leak fixes?

Dave, have you tried the talcum powder trick?

Get some talcum powder and dust it around the window and door opening seals (or anywhere you think it's leaking), and close it up.

Using a very soft brush is easiest ... make like you're dusting for prints wink

Next spray the car with a hose / go through a car wash, give it a while for the water to seep through.

Now look at the seals, where it's leaking there will be a water trail cut through the powder.

Don't over do it with the talc ... can be a bugger to clean it up afterwards.
