Water inside sidelight/indicator lenses?
I expect this in my S2A but not in a new 110.

Before everything gets corroded, should I try to arrange a warranty visit to the dealers? 1970 Series 2A 88"

Yes
There should be foam seals around the base of each light. I had 2 missing, but I also smeared a lot of silicon grease around all joins and screw holes. Out of warranty I changed them all for RDX LED units which are sealed units. No water problem. Thumbs Up LANDYWATCH

I Find the rear indicators are the best for this, but as above I'm changing over to RDX lights too. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

The 110 is only six months old, though. Lots of water droplets inside the lenses even when dry on the outside.

Looks like I will be calling the dealers to arrange a visit. Sad

Caterham scale just gone from zero to one!

I agree with the above posters, though. If it were out of warranty, I would probably replace them with something that is sealed more effectively. 1970 Series 2A 88"
