Whilst having a look around my boot today as you do, I was surprised to see my reflection! In the right hand side below that damper thing (convertible) the section below was 10cm deep with water. Where could that have come from? I wondered whether it was the drain under the filler cap, I can feel the hose and is in place. Anyone heard of this issue before?

Only drain hose one the right hand side is the fuel filler one. Think I'll get hose on it and see if it fills up again. The paint is all ok as I think it is a new issue that has just filled up with all the rain we've had recently.
