Over wintering and door leak

I would be very grateful if anyone could help with the following questions

1. I have found small pools of water lying on the wheel arch inside the driving cab. Is this likely to be a door seal issue? If so are they easy to source and fit or is there a fix?

2. What preparations do you recommend when laying the van up for winter?

Thanks in advance

Ronnie

Apparently don't leave alot of fuel in as it goes stale so you can add a load of fresh stuff next year...leave the handbrake of if possible putting some blocks behind the wheels or rear drums will freeze...make sure you run 3vetybthing once a week even ifvits just for a short while tap engine ect...think that's it

1. - I had that issue - it was a failed polythene membrane behind the door card - they get cut for various reasons, door speakers or central locking installations. The membrane needs to be intact and tucked inside the door void along the bottom edge, otherwise rainwater tracks down it and inside the van onto the door step.

Thanks very much for that information. I never thought of that.
