blimey you replied quick :-) im gona check the rear lights as i think it is comming from the right side. Which part did you seal? Where the thread goes into the boot? cheers skap.

I'd say the light clusters too.
|
|
just checked the lights...they are bone dry. I think its comming from underneath somewhere becasue in that compartment where the jack is its swimming.
|
I don't think that means anything to be honest other than all the water is collecting there. If there was a hole big enough for water to get in from underneath then I can't imagine it'd stay there long enough to make a pool!

Try checking around the rear wiper. The shaft that comes out through the bodywork / glass (can't remember which).
Failing that, if you've got a sunroof, check the drainpipes aren't blocked, or become disconnected.

When I had the boot carpet out of our ZX I found there's a 'pocket' in the body just under the light clusters. On ours this was full of water, and just overspilling the top and making the boot carpet damp - in just the location you describe. Lights, I thought, so I took them off, but there was no way the water could get from there into this pocket. Tried with a watering can, but I couldn't make it leak. So I whipped the bumper off and drilled a drain hole into the bottom of the pocket - if the water isn't there it can't rot the car! Car has also been much drier inside over the winter.

Is it illogical? It must be Citroen....

This sounds exactly the same problem Richard so ill give the drain hole thing a go. By the way i read your description on changing the rear subframe mounts which i did this weekend.......what a difference so thanks for that.

I had a ZX which had a leak into the rear of the boot. The vertical panel at the rear was made in two parts with a spot-welded horizontal overlapping joint. The lower part was outermost and consequently their was a ridge on which rain could collect. The bead of sealant was on the inside of the boot and although it was complete it had failed to cover the entire length of the joint, resulting in a leak path. I solved the problem with a generous application of sealant where the factory-applied sealent was misaligned with the joint.
This may be totally irrelevant on a 306 but it's got to be worth looking (both outside and inside the boot) for this sort of thing.
