Been leaking for a while, drivers side footwell has had a few puddles already with this weather!
Noticed it was coming in through the door, the window rubber had came off and it was dripping in!!!! so door card off and sorted the rubber strip. Door card is now dry but floor is still wet?!?
Has anyone got any other idea's???
windscreen or heater matrix is my guess
Also check that the engine bay bulkhead drain hole are clear of debris.
checked all those and there all fine
am off 2moro so weather permitting am gonna take off the door surround and have a look.
I peeled bk carpet earlier and it looks like it getting in along the bottom of door!
can anyone suggest a waterproof cover???
If its the heater matrix ...you can knick the one out the 5 im splitting if you want hendy
take carpet out.......hey presto no more wet carpet..
carpet out, couple of towels in
gonna have a good look 2moro while the rains away, still cant see where its gettin in

Drill a hole in the floor pan and let it drain away(joke)
Check that the choke cable rubber grommit is in place, where it goes through the body.Mine had popped out and was letting a lot of H2O in!It gave me job satisfaction until finding that was only leak number one! carpet out next
Well i thot i had fixed the leak in the drivers footwell, went out to the five this morning to find a soaking carpet and a small puddle
Well carpet came out aswell as the plastic panel, seems like its the bulkhead as the sound deadening was wet, very wet!
I think its been happening for a while as i've noticed welding from the previous owner!
Anyways i also noticed some wetness behind my seat aswell..
After further investigating and pulling out the rest of the interior i've found this...
