yep all windows firmly shut. are the seals fixable or is it a case of getting a whole new one fitted?

nope, no sunroof. the water is getting into the footwell just at the front of the kickplate on the door sill. but i'd imagine the water is getting into the seals somewhere else and gravity is letting it trickle down to that point.

driver's door seal is leaking - noticed the car was misting up a lot and then the driver's footwell was piss wet through. can't seem to find any bit of loose seal, but can see where the water's getting into the footwell any ideas on how to find the broken bit and fix it?

yep my old 156 was the same, you could turn the QE2 round quicker

p/s fluid level looks fine, although gus gave it a slight top-up just in case. i doubt it's the alternator - if the car's stationary and in neutral, turn the wheel and it whines like a bitch. alternator would only whine more with revs?

took it over to gus this evening, he reckons almost certainly new pump as it sounds like the bearings have gone. £450 fitted on top of £60 windscreen excess last week, road tax last month... i fuckin hate cars sometimes

Power steering problem? went down the shop last night, as soon as i started up the car i could hear a strange whining noise. never had it at all before. it sounds almost like a gearbox whine, but it's worst when turning at low speed. it's also still there when stationary in neutral and you turn the wheel. which leads me to think it must be something to do with the power steering, pump maybe? anyone had this problem before? if it is the pump: A) is it a big job to replace, how much ££ ? am i ok driving it until friday which is the earliest opprtunity i have to get it to the garage? cheers al

4x4's never get let out. partially because i don't want to be sitting in traffic behind a great big brick wall of a thing, but mainly cos they're driven by complete twats

i've driven pablos's autodelta supercharged 3.7 a few times 345 bhp it was running, utterly mental. laugh out loud, addictively fast, but undriveable in 2nd if you were giving it any beans. docile if you just pootle around though... i'd buy it in a heartbeat
