Hi Guys
Might be just my Vehicle
As I've stated this car is no Garage queen and has covered 45K in all weathers so might be a one off.
Pictures below show what was described to me as a power stud found at the back of the front wheel arch drivers side (UK).
Rust discolouration was seen running down the known poor paint, this originated from a plastic protective cover with a couple of cables passing through.
On inspection you can see water has made it through the less than adequate sponge seal. The mild steel stud/ nut have quite badly corroded and needed replacing.
Not available from Jag as a separate part from the wiring loom, A new stud has been made, greased and reassembled with a new seal and some prep to the paint.
Easy to check next time your washing the car if you turn your wheel hard right.
Given that these cars are voltage sensitive, not that I had any voltage problems can't be helping that the contacts are so wet.
This was discovered during a recent routine service.
Pictures are not brilliant they're from Tom Lenthall's Ltd Face book page.
