Fixed leaky bonnet!

[Peschedave]

Just took my MC back to dealer after getting puddles in my toolbox bay after heavy rain.After reading on this forum about this problem I suspected it was the rear brakelight seal on the middle light.Imagine how smug I was after telling the engineering manager that it might be this only to be told I was right and that the light was actually full of water!Also they fixed my problem with my hesitant rev problem by a software update! Also got new jack and i am getting my carpet replaced .Just shows you how usefull these forums are!!!

Good news But was that a leaky bonnet or boot?

[Richard Crofts]

Boot I should think unless he has the first factory warranteed rear engined MINI

I had the same issue, quick fix but didn't have a free new carpet etc....I'll have to have words with a certain MINI mechanic when I next see him....You know who you are

does the new rear light need silicone sealant or just the new gasket when fitting?
i've just bought a clear light unit which came with the gasket so will it be ok just to fit it as it is?

cheers
