One thing my brother forgot to mention (:rage:) before I brought the car is that it rains inside.
The interior light fills up with water when its rained and starts pouring out when driving, turn right it soaks passenger and vice versa. Anybody else had this problem? any ideas how to sort it?

arial base is leaking mate when it rained i used to get dripped on lol pull interior light out. this will expose a bolt with a nut on. Tighen up the nut as tight as you can. This will tighen your aerial base up and stop any leeks. Quite a common thing to happen to a saxo but thankfully has an easy solution.
If that fails, put some clear sealent around the base of the aerial or around the bolt from the inside to make it water tight.

Haha. That happened in one of my old Saxo's too. And there's me thinking I was the only one. I took the car through a car wash and the rollers bent the aerial in the wrong direction thus causing the screw at the base to make a nice hole and then for it to start leaking... nice.

find a big roundabout and keep turning right untill water has gone...
passenger wont be happy but you wont have anymore water leaking on you untill the next time it rains!
