A leak in the boot

...

I HAVE just bought a 1994 VR II Commodore sedan that has a problem with a boot leak. The water seems to come from the rear of the vehicle, though it doesn't seem to be the tail lights. Is this a common problem with this model, and can it be rectified?

IT'S UNLIKELY to be coming in through the tail lights. First check the condition of the boot lid seal, the most likely cause. If that's OK look around the boot for any sign the car has been in a crash. It could be that the boot lid is out of alignment and not seating properly on the seal. If all that appears OK, lift the boot mat, remove the spare, and thoroughly check the whole boot area for telltale water stains.
