Default One thing after another!

my S2 is really starting to get me annoyed!!!!


everytime it rains the boot fills up! its wet down the right hand side whats the chances of this been the side glass? it gets wet under the trim below the window that covers the shocker top! then runs down into the spare wheel well as it goes! making my carpet mouldy.

AND it wont bloody dtart when its cold!! odds on its cold atart valve as it winds over and over and wont start untill i push the throttle right to the floor, then when it does fire it runs on 3 for ages till it gets some heat into it-cold start valve?? or yet more other problems??? please help! im considereing getting rid its pissing me off that much!!
