Water noise

A noise of water moving around when turning has been driving me mad, thought it was the fuel tank, them maybe under the boot floor.
But have found it

The back door had a couple of litres inside.

There’s a known SSM for water ingress mine is getting something done next time it goes in but they didn’t say where it was.

Might be beneficial to leave the drain grommet out until the issue is sorted. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Yes, thanks, done that. Problem is grommet isnt at lowest point so there’s still a reservoir behind

Probably seems like heresy saying this, but would it be feasible to drill a hole at the lowest point to stop water building up? Just make the diameter the same as the existing whole and you can plug it with a grommet when the issue is solved. If you do drill a new hole do not for get to put some paint on the new edges to stop it rusting. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
