Electric problems will be because the the pipes that run down from the roof will be blocked and overflow into the footwell where all the control modules are. Open the door and the small rubber pipe. Squeeze the end and I bet alot of water comes out. They need a blower down the top to get all the shit out.

406 is a great car for that purpose. Vectra estates are massive inside so also good.

Once they get slightly wet they just get worse. The wire start to rust and all short out. Not good.
