Why did my Bentley GT scuttle full of water stop working?

Unfortunately the search facility is down so can’t see if this has been covered before. My Bro in law has a Bentley GT which stopped working a couple of weeks back due to a flat battery. He was advised to get the battery changed, which he did do, but it didn’t cure the problem.

What can I do about a leak in the boot?

I’ve carefully looked at the brake light on top of the boot and couldn’t see where it may let in water and so on a dry day I laid some paper in the boot, closed it and poured a whole watering can full of water over it. Result – nothing, not a drop under the brake light and nothing in the boot around the edges.

Why is there no water in my boot?

Anyway, a couple of recent days of constant rain which last year would have meant a puddle under the carpet by the tyre pump to mop up, but this year nothing, no water at all. The reason is… My drive is on a steep slope and last year the front of my car was always pointing upwards.

Is the Bentley scuttle full of water insured?

Having been advised by Bentley to make an insurance claim for flood damage, he has done so, had the car uplifted to the dealer and was awaiting an assessor to review the case. Now, here’s where the water gets a bit muddy.
