orangefender said:Ok, so first issue has arisen.
Experience told me to check the car is dry after the rain we've been having and discovered a small puddle in front passenger footwell and luggage compartment. I've been able to clear up easily with a towel and the water is clean suggesting from power hosing rather than rain, but not ideal.
I can see that water is getting into the cabin past the windscreen seal and I found some old threads recommending using a window sealant. Seems a neat solution until such time the windscreen needs replacing - has anyone on here tried?
Could the window seal could also be responsible for the luggage compartment also?

Regarding the leaking issue, as you are less than a week into ownership, can you not contact the supplying garage to investigate or have it addressed? How were they able to wash and prep the car without noticing the leak themselves? :?
I used to get this with the LWF when my engine was pre Vram since the conversion it doesn't happen. It would hunt for about 1 minute then settle down but kept stalling on reverse and I used to get the annoying stall at traffic lights. The O2 sensor may help looks easy but they can be welded in.orangefender said:Thought I owed an update, so...window leak was in the middle of the screen and seems to have been resolved with some of the glue used by the fitters but I'll know for sure when the rain returns.
The front boot is still leaking so looking at a new front seal. Might have a go at that myself.
I'm getting used to the RS clutch and flywheel but something is not quite right as I get high fluctuating revs on a cold start. Cleaned the IVS valve but no improvement so I'm going to replace the O2 sensor myself next (looks straight forward) as we got an error code when I had the PPI. Probably should have done that straight away.

A trip to Chipwizards may be neccessary or you could try a Steve Wang chip (bit pricey)
