Hello peeps. Is it just me or is it normal to hear the sloshing of liquid over your right shoulder as you drive away? I thought it might be the fuel tank, but the filler cap is on the passenger side (hence assume that's where the petrol tank is).

Do you have a factory fitted sunroof? Check the drain holes in the roof pan are not blocked with moss or leaf debris.

sunroof ..... no such thing on a modern Aston...is there ??......not sure it's a problem with Astons but ive had a few cars where the drain holes at the bottom of the doors have become blocked and the door has filled with water

Actually thinking about it, you are most probably right.

Not unless it's a roadster/volante wink
Which does have the drain channels you mention.

Dont know about the back but I had the same noise in mine from the front after heavy rain once.
As mentioned above it was caused by blocked drain holes.
Acording to Rick at DMS it's a common problem and just requires cleaning them out.
