Vauxhall Tigra leaking water every time it rains
We have a 2005 Vauxhall Tigra, which has done 30,000 miles and suffered no accidents. However, every time it rains, the car’s footwell fills with water.
My local Vauxhall garage says the pedal box is letting in water and it will cost £600 to repair. This seems a very large sum for fixing a rainwater problem. Is this something this model suffers from and is £600 a fair price for fixing the leak?

Yes. A design problem shared with the Corsa. See the Corsa entry in www.hoenstjohn.co.uk/carbycar
