Only time I've had a pond by my feet was in my previous mk2 when the heater matrix exploded. Steam and boiling hot water EVERYWHERE!!! :shocked:
-
Cool water feature! :laugh:
Was it installed by Charlie Dimmok? :grin: (dodgey spelling!) On the serious side that sucks mate! Hope ya get it sorted
-
I got a similar feature in mine, but it was from where the drainage hole had got blocked through to the wheel arch and the water was overflowing through the steering column. Opened the bonnet, pushed the leaves and crud away from the hole and then got about 2ltrs of water onto my feet.

Check the seal on the windscreen as well a little rot under there will let water in - but not that much. Looks like as above a problem with the drainage plug. Get some stiff but flexable wire or a thin plastic rod and push up from the wheel arch and then down repeat a few times and then flush through with a little water and see the crud come out (boiling water is good to start with or use some live yogurt as this will eat any leaf mulch / crud)
also greese any gromits near the drainage hole as the back wash probably got into the foor well through them. Also do it quickly as the water would also have dripped down the back of the fuse box - over time will cause problems with relays and wiring (one dead fuel pump relay in my own experience).

was none of these problems.... was the seal on the inner skin of the door card.. but ye thanks i had preveously tryed all these and had not solved the issue.. its all sorted now with new sponge underneath.. GOOD AS NEW
