Cars leakiness hasn't really been a big issue previously since I used to park under the local raised railway line, but I recently started getting hefty fines and had to stop (This may be an unofficial "Get that heap of the street" thing, since other cars still park there, but there probably isn't much I can do about that.)
Anyway, heavy rain while I was in the UK, and it got a bit wet. I anticipate some electrical problems, plus theres mould on most of the plastic surfaces and the seat fabric.
.
Know any good mould treatments?
Main entry seems to be via the windscreen rubber. i thought of perhaps running hot paraffin wax or PVA adhesive in there. Vegetable oil will grow more mould.
Window rubbers are colonised by ants. They don't like diesel, but the rubbers probably won't either, so I'll rely on disturbance initially and reluctantly follow up with hot water if that doesn't work.
First step was to remove the sill drain plugs, which I should have done before I left
.
Pity to evict this little focus-resistant fella though.
