Ok three questions, two fairly easy I think, one really annoying one. Firstly, it’s a TD5 2004 so it’s got the facelift headlamps. Offside front lamp has an enormous amount of condensation inside it. I’ve removed it dried it out (wife’s hair dryer) refitted, having checked for a split, crack or indication of water penetration there’s none. A few days later full of condensation, any ideas where this water is getting in?

Secondly the roof head lining Driver side at the front corner where the wind screen pillar joins the roof is soaking wet, not damp. Yes, I’ve twin electric Sunroofs, so where’s the water getting in?


Thirdly the off side rear lamp cluster that contains the indicator and stop/tail light, has a problem. With lights turned on the rear offside tail light isn’t working, changed the bulb and still not working. The brake light works, but not the tail light (yes, I know it’s the same bulb) so I changed the whole lamp units or rather switched to see if the unit was defective. The offside unit is fine and all lights work when tested in the nearside, I checked the nearside in the offside and sure enough the tail light didn’t work. So on the process of elimination the lamp unit is fine. I even tested with the tow ball electrics disconnected and still the tail light didn’t work. There’s power otherwise the brake light wouldn’t work (it’s the same bulb) any ideas?

No, answers are spot on. I have to say sorry, as my laptop screen froze I thought first 'post' didn't show so more haste less speed, I 'posted' again, thanks for the answers will be sorting out tonight, Ralph.
