The outside one will be the issue the grommit is about £8 from Bmw.
The module at the bottom of the pocket is the alarm tilt sensor.

The other unit if it is black is the vacuum controller for the exhaust flap in the tail pipe.

I believe the first part in black will be that controller you said as it got some vacuum hoses. But then I have got a grey unit at the far bottom and that one was flooded half way.

Thanks

Grey unit is the tilt sensor probably inop now if wet and it is missing a bracket that bolts to the side of the well. The alarm should still work but no tilt function. £100+ from BMW ,mines gone as well.

Is working fine as the water level didn't reach the plugs and the united is sealed all around. The bracket is there and you can see it attached on the first picture. Was quite lucky to find the water there to be fair.

Hi all

Don't know where people manage to get the aerial from BMW at cost of around 2£ Paid £9.59 for the exterior grommet that is much smaller than the inner one that is twice as big. Hopefully will be my water leak sorted.

Thanks everyone.

Mrs littlefeller had moisture on her boot lid recently (non zed) so i investigated, turned out she was keeping her windscreen frost sheet (silver foily thingy) in the boot, stowed straight from the windscreen still covered in frost:rolleyes:

That kind explains it self ahaha. Now with a boot being empty for more than a month it does require a bit more of investigation ahha :) Fingers crossed the grommet will solve the problem.

Some one on ebay is charging £12 for the aerial grommets, when I replaced mine from BMW a couple of years ago I'm sure I paid around £3

You're right I just seen today and even though I paid 9 ish from my local dealer is cheaper than non OEM ones. Can't really understand the price up on some items lol.

You have to price both, we see this with car parts at work all the time. We used to sometimes ask the old boss for a particular part and he would say " Where am I going to get that from?" Try the dealer!
