Default Jaguar xj8 is damaged again

Yesterday after work I was in a hurry and I've never been to Wal-Mart but that pick up thing was appealing, so I requested about 20 thing 3 of them being
3 cheese hot pockets
Green grape
And swiss cheese
So after picking it all up one of the bags hit my already broken tail light and while checking it out I realised the grapes were absent and they gave me the off brand cheese, after parking my car in the vary back, do to previous encounters at other stores after coming back I see a dent in the side of my car and a shopping cart and considering what happened I was furious after getting home I was putting the food away and the not only gave me the wrong hot pockets but they put 2 wrong boxes in there



Tail light



Scratched finder



Dent
Well at 2018 is here.....and my jaguar turns 15
Jaguar value as of today
2,300

Also dealer didn't have car title even after a month and 5 days, temporary plate expires soon, battery is dead again though not jaguar fault, and the car is flooding itself

I'm sorry to hear about your car being damaged, I am fearful of supermarkets because people are too selfish and lazy to return their trolley. I shout at them and shame them if I see people do it, it drives me mad.

Regarding your boot area flooding, I'd be looking at the seal around the boot opening but also checking underneath the rubber on the rear windscreen as it may have rusted a hole to allow moisture in. Also it's worth checking the areas where the rear wings attach to the rear deck as leaks can happen here too.

I was looking how to replace the back light and in about 30 seconds the water returned it has been a rainy year in Texas and the car sitting on a dealer lot for 2 years may have caused that

Could be the drain from the gas filler basin, the hose could be cracked or disconnected. Pull the carpet panels back and have a good look at everything.
