Flooded Wheel Well

[David Taylor]

Car stank and was taking ages to demist. Found some mold growing. An investigation and bingo. Wheel well was about 6inches deep in rusty water. I'm surprised nothing shorted.

 

So, now the fix. Anyone know what it'll cost me? I'm not skilled enough to do this stuff myself.

I ran a hose over the car and saw where the water was entering. Visible in one of the pics.

 

Help!

Slam panel vents is the usual entry point. Have a look behind the trim. Also advisable to drill a drain hole in the bottom of the well.

Is this easily doable / replaceable? I want to avoid drilling anything. What are Jag going to charge me to change?

Does anyone want to earn some £ to come and fix this with me? I'd rather get it done myself, with some oversight, than to be pay Jag £250 just to look at it.

I bought a 2010 XKR in Tucson, Arizona last summer, when it was 110 degrees Fahrenheit. I insisted that the air conditioning work, which it did. What they failed to tell me was that the condensation drain tube was ruptured or clogged. It dripped on the right side footwell for 3000 miles driving home to New York. I've done most of my own work on a wide variety of cars, trucks, lawn mowers, etc. The dealer said  it would cost $4000 US dollars to replace the $15 tube, as the entire dash has to be removed to access the faulty part. The XKR is waiting for the appropriate weather to be driven again & I'm finishing a 1962 Jaguar Mark2 vintage race car on a deadline. Frankly, I haven't addressed the AC issue, but I do have new tires, brake pads, & transmission fluid w/filter, that I will be addressing. I only hope this helps, if only to help identify the origin of your problem.

Sorry, I didn't read your problem correctly, the first time. I see our respective problems are unrelated. Good luck with yours.
