Pissed drunk?? What gives you that impression?.

Quick check on Civinfo says to check round the seals and where the window meets the perspex bit to see if you can spot where it's coming in. Never had any problems with that.

Clicking could be a few things. Does it only happen when turning? The front subframe clicks on them. Mine did it loads pulling away of slowing down. Re-grease the bolts or fit rigid collars are the solutions.

My front subframe clicked from new. Worst when turning out drive and coming down wee kerb. Warranty fix was re-grease and it was fine after that for years.

If you are pissed now don't look under the seal at the top of the front windscreen!

Water in boot will 99% likely be rear light seals common problem on a lot of hondas after time

I swear i must be the only lucky owner lol. The only issue i had was the windscreen rust at the top and that was fixed under warranty. Apart from that, its been absolutely hassle free ownership (10 years).

You still got yours, good going. I regret letting mine go. I had some stupid niggles in mine, but annoyingly my roof rust was fixed by Donnelly's under warranty, then it returned again about 18 months later and they refused to fix it as there is only a 1 year warranty on the repair work, irrespective that there is a 6 or whatever year anti-corrosion warranty on the car and they are the authorised dealership!

Lol, yeah, still have mine. Can't believe how long i've had it. But its been so hassle free that i know i'll regret it once i let it go. In my ownership, the only things that have change (apart from tyres and brakes) is i had to replace drop links once and replaced a battery and that wasn't a necessity just thought after 7 years, i really should get a new battery.

Instead of changing my car, we keep changing my wifes (currently on a mini cooper s) to keep things interesting. But we are in the middle of swapping hers to either a f30 or a new c class, need a bigger car.
