check the rubber grommet that connects your interior to your exterior (ie brake and accelerator cables, bonnet cable) door seals? window seals?

Id put money on its the seal behind the door card. Take door card off and then you got a metal sheet which covers the regulator etc. the seal has gone on that most prob and coming over the sill. Just re-seal the metal sheet to the door and put door card back on

Pop the bonnet and have a look around the pollen filter at the back of the engine bay. If I recall rightly, when I had that problem there was a plastic cover there that had cracked and was diverting water into the footwell.. Only a couple of quid and simple to replace if that's the problem.
