Water in boot lid

Yet another miracle . My SOH was recorded as 90% on my first service , 80% on my second service and today on my 3rd service it was 99%

Is this about an MG5 as per your profile? (This thread is in the MG4 board). Or do you also have an MG4?

I know you are talking a 5 on a 4 forum but I have seen the SOC marked as SOH.

I have never had a SOH from my dealer at the 2 services it's had. I am happy with this as I wouldn't trust what a dealer told me unless they had used a recognized third party to check it. I have an obd dongle and I am happy with the figures I get from that. There really needs to be a recognized and standard testing system for HV batteries that all cars should be put through before resale and also at any point if an owner feels they want to get it checked.

This might be a public service announcement as I'd no idea my car had a leak. Maybe next time you open your tailgate you should check yours.

Yesterday I needed to lift the boot floor on car. I was very surprised to see a puddle, loch, lake of water lying in lowest part of the boot. The attached photo shows what I'm talking about. The shiny bit is the puddle of water which was left after I'd taken the tray with the finilec, compressor, tools etc out. The boot floor carpet was obviously soaked where the water had collected but there wasn't any other wetness I could find.

Anyone else had this problem? If yes, did you find where the water was leaking in from?

I recall a few reports of this on the forum.

That's a big puddle, Just checked mine and it's nice and dry. Mine has the tyre repair kit and warning triangle under there though (XPower).

Is it windscreen washer liquid leak? Does the washer still spray water?

I wonder if @AndrewS has removed that item and this is the view underneath it?

Yes it does look that way, I've just had another look at mine and the 'tray' holding the tyre kit can be removed with the 2 screws shown in @AndrewS picture. I've looked under mine and it's still dry, phew!

That's definitely not, recommended. Gonna check mine now. Hope you get it sorted.

Yeah, so does mine usueally. The puddle is after I'd lifted the gadgets and polystyrene holder for them out.

I searched the forum before I posted, but didn't find any which were exactly this. So I thought, as I'd been blissfully unaware of the gathering water. I'd post to at least alert other owners.

I had this. Turned out to be the tailgate seal.

Thanks. Was it replaced under warranty?
