Hi Folks.

Just bought myself a 2012 1.7 cdti SE sports tourer.. loving it so far. I've always had Vauxhall's going back to mk2 Cavaliers and owned Zafira's for the last 12 years. 

Got a bit of water in the boot, looks like it's coming from the tailgate so I'm looking for some hints.

I've heard of water ingress on the 5 door hatch, but not aware of any issues with the tourer. I've certainly not any problems with mine (so far) but if I had to start looking, I'd suspect the lights or the tailgate seal
retrofitted = DAB+, GM dog guard, GM reversing camera

Thanks both for the welcome.. It was coming from the high level brake light. I removed and resealed it with silicone which appears to have cured it.
