Like checking for daylight frew the boot floor?
My first ever car, an Austin, had a problem like that. I was driving in the rain and felt a splash of water on my mush. Discovered that there was a large fibre glass patch which had de-bonded in the passenger floor, which opened like a flap valve when driving over a puddle and fell back into place afterwards. I learned how to fix car brakes with that car, after a significant failure. The petrol tank dropped several inches when I put half a tank of petrol in - all the screws had rotted out and was leaking fuel too. It was only eight years old, had no brakes, bald tyres and no road tax but a new petrol tank which I put in. One of the headlights pointed skywards after a bus backed into it. Only cost me 60 sovs and I got six months out of it before it got scrapped. (and no flippant comments about tratters being no different please).
