removed the bungs from underneath the car and water poured out so that's some of it out. but there's also water behind the rear lights... Im gonna wait for a nice day and cover it with water with a friend in the car to look for leaks!

That is a lot of water :shocked:

If there's water behind your lights it would probably be worth getting new light seals whilst your getting a pollen filter. Also check your boot seal, mine was leaking badly through the boot when I first got it.

pollen filter made no difference whatsoever to the water leak. The water would have to travel against gravity in order to get in there.
