Leaking Griff

[darrenlens]

I appear to have sprung a leak on the drivers side, can anyone give me any ideas as to where it could be coming in from. It has only just started which I find strange??

Try the seal around the brake fluid reservoir. Pages 95, 165,166 in the Griff/Chimaera bible.

Check the inside of the hood when the outside is wet.
On mine, around the seams, the brown material was dark because it was wet. This was letting a little, but enough, water in. If the hoop is seeping, use Fabsil or similar (loads of hood waterproofing threads kicking around).
That said, I'm sure TVR use water permiable glass, because mine is always damp, even though there is no obvious water entry point. It's a TVR, afterall.

I have re-sealed the brake fluid reservoir and checked the hood (this was fabsil'd last year)but the water is still getting in. Only on drivers side though, anybody got anymore ideas??

Climb in foot well look uo at outside side of stering cloumn. There is a few pot rivets, mine was leaking through these, a blob of sealant did the trick although I had to gt my chick to pull me out as my back went.

Is yours one of the ones with the extra air vent in the driver footwell? Mine doesn't have this, but I have spoken to someone who's did and he had water coming through from where the vent came through the sidewall.

Just an idea.
