I've noticed a bit of water in the rear passenger footwell, but I can't find these nipsters. Could anyone post a pic or describe exactly where they are? I've followed the description on here, but can't make it out. Cheers.

Do you have a sunroof? I think it's for sunroof cars only...open the front doors and look above the door hinge and they'll either be some nipples or a round black circle blanking plate 2-3cm round.

If not check the pollen filter (though I doubt it's that) and check your rear pillars see if the rear washer feed is leaking.

No sunroof, but I'll check the pillars and see what's occuring. It's a 5 door if that helps.

I don't think you'll have the nipples so points to rear washer feed leaking or pollen filter (doubt it is this one). Or possibly the drainage behind the rear bumper is jammed shut.

This rear bumper drainage, where exactly on the bumper should I be looking?

Thanks. Had a read, they all seem to have water in their spare tyre bay, rather than the floor though.

You only have the nipples if it's got a sun roof I think. I'd check the drainage behing the rear bumper as per the link above.
