In addition to what has already been said, what are the symptoms and indications of a faulty tower and how can it be tested to find out if you do have a faulty one.

Could be an alarm system which remains active even in listening mode, internal light, radio backup to retain memory. Also has the battery been allowed to fully discharge as they rarely recover from this.

Give plugs and points a good clean.

Bit of an obvious one this but worth mentioning. Fitted figure of 8 awning fittings along with rubber tube inserts to hold them in place for my awning during the spring.

It is only on the nearside cover, at the bottom corner near the front of the cover

"You should fail a vehicle if a fluid leak creates a pool on the floor within 5 minutes that's more than 75mm in diameter"

Tks Rob, well within 75mm but it drips onto exhaust first.

And its back, annoyingly the leak is back in the same area albeit small. MOT due so wondering if it is a failure. If so will have to buy the more expensive silicone ones and hope they work. Do not understand why the cork ones are proving to be an issue as they are the standard and recommended fit.

Have a look at this video by James Akers.

Maybe worth giving the appropriate parts a good dose of WD40 to see if that improves the problem.

So after actions in previous post all looking good and no oil leak.

Don't understand what type of bumpers you have fitted. It is normally a case of unbolting them. Also it is worth cleaning and either wire brushing or sanding the insides before painting that area also.
