Today was NOT a good car day
First, at my partner Lynette's house in Chesham, my lovely Volvo C70 convertible was most likely written off by a runaway DPD Sprinter van, which rolled back down the hill while the driver was out making a delivery. The Volvo was pushed sideways into her Yaris, so it has damage on every panel both sides, with a huge mess where the driver's door was. The Yaris has a load more minor cuts & grazes to add to its collection but is luckily still perfectly useable now that I've pulled out the front and rear wings. Thank goodness, no-one was injured. We had been about to load up the Volvo to take her daughter back to Uni in Derby: if I'd been checking the tyre pressures beforehand as I usually do, I shudder to think what the situation might be right now
Eventually we ended up taking the Yaris to my house in Leighton Buzzard and picking up my Crystal TDI75 for the rest of the journey to Derby. While fitting a rear seat to it for the second passenger, I noticed some mould on the boot floor carpet ... and a look underneath revealed a battery tray with about 2" of water in the bottom
And this
despite @timmus and I having put sealant around the rear vents when we installed the PDC rear bumper last Autumn! I've now sponged out the water as far as possible, I just hope my Diversity unit and particularly the BOSE sub are OK ...
