  1. i had similar problem to adeysolaris, i virtually done the same using sealer, i had major water problems in the boot. luckily it only took me a couple of days to sort out the boot part of my problem thanks to this site and a bit of luck. i done mine in parts, you could do all of this in a couple of hours properly if you have half a clue with cars. take both rear light cluster out and dry with hair dryer as much as you can. clean dirt off etc, take gaskets out clean and dry them as best you can. use sealant ( i used loctite from halfords 5 quid is perfect) on both sides of the gasket and after cleaning everything up on the car side as well screw them back into place. i also found by luck that the bit where you put the nozzle to fill petrol up was leaking water, i used a phone camera with the light on and happened to put it in the wing that you cant visibly see from inside the boot and i could see the line of water entering from under that part when i watched the video back. - i was very surprised this could leak, i would never have thought about it and it looks completely perfect from the outside. so i sealed it from the outside with sealer and also put sealer on the hatch to roof joins just in case. i read toyota relied on the paint to be the sealer of that part? (could see a very very fine hairline crack as a lot of people mention, on one side) this totally solved the leaking boot issues for me. i never read anywhere else online about the leak under the petrol filler so its definately worth a look at. the only other post i seen is above about the filler on the damaged wing, mine however, is not a damaged wing and its happened. now onto the leak in the drivers footwell for me. :-(

  2. OK, how did you find leaking? Did you see water collected somewhere? I looked few times around rear lights but no water underneath...Hey. I didn't see it dripping no. At the time i figured it could be the only cause. Did the fix and I haven't had an issue since. It was inky collecting in the spare wheelwell and only on the right side (where my emergency jack is located) so it seemed like a safe bet that that was the issue. By the sounds of it there are loads of possible points where water can leak from. This one worked for me! Hope this helps someone out.

  3. im sure on my right light cluster the water actually went through the gasket - the gasket was actually incorrectly placed on the car during manufacture - i cleaned it all out and placed it properly. the left light was surprisingly full of water, although it just looked like droplets and condensation from the outside a good half litre or so came out of the actual light cluster. im not sure exactly how the water entered on that one - possibly the gasket as well as it was pretty dirty. the fuel filler was letting in a lot of water surprisingly. goodluck with yours The sealant/gasket maker i used note: i bought this from Halfords, it was 100ml tube and was only £5-6 - cheaper in store even than their website, one tube is enough to do far more than you need. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Loctite-SI5980-Premium-Silicone-Sealant/dp/B00KLEH490/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417127632&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=Loctite+5910+Premium+Silicone+Black+Gasket+Maker%2FSealant

  4. I need better weather and I will remove rear lights and reseal them. Just wonder how the water goes from lights to weelwell? Will check fuel filler as well, I've got special camera (7mm diameter) with USB cable...

  5. 1000rpm if you're using the heater/climate control and if you're engine isn't fully warmed up.. and ambient temp is between 0 and 10 degrees. 1200rpm if all of above but ambient temp below 0 degrees. If ambient temp over 10 degrees then normal idle speed.

  6. Hi Nathaniel, I agree with your comment regarding the dome light. I changed mine as the double sided spring version was shorting the dome fuse. I also changed all 4 speakers as the originals were buzzing badly and sounding dreadful. I installed larger 165cm JBL speakers. They fitted in the original space with 6cm mdf used as baffles and spacers. The mdf baffles improve the sound especially the bass frequencies, as well as keep the rear magnet from the windows when lowered. The gap to grill was perfect so the original door cards are used. You would never know the speakers were changed. To remove the old speakers, just drill out the rivets. I did a bit of crimping of the wires after testing the phasing and polarity. The only thing I need to sort is the rear wiper. Konrad

  8. When my Versos engine seized in because of a known problem excessive oil consumption, Toyota couldent care less, it has full service with Toyota, yet they still refused. then 2 days later (coincidence), the car turned 7 years old and they dident accept any liability.

  9. The decision to have no CD player was driven by the target audience the Aygo is aimed at. We too have customers who want a CD player, but we rip their music for them and put it on a stick. Once most people have all their music on one stick, do wonder why they ever had a CD, it is so much easier on a stick, we have had very few complaints. The whole car is so much better, I would not let the fact it has no CD player put me off it
