Can you be more specific about where the leak is. Where it originating from and where the water ends up. Try and trace the water to a source.

It ends up leaving a puddle in the drivers footwell. It's hard to see where it's coming from looks like it could be coming from the bulk head but had a good look and can't see any bungs or out missing. Got me stumped. :undecided:

Had a look at the bonnet release cable bung and that looks fine. Haven't checked clutch cable grommet or under ecu but will be the next things to check.


Thanks

Is the door card wet? If so water could be coming through the plastic membrane.

take out your drivers seat and remove the panel below the steering wheel. then lie inside with a torch and get someone with a hose on outside.

Could be the windscreen seal, its leaking both sides on ours, a new seal is on the (very long) job list.
