If I remember right the air intake is up under the nearside front wing, unless you have altered it such as fitting a snorkel.

Had a look today, took air box lid off, couldn't beleive the state of the air filter, dirty, don't use the car that much, done about 3k since last service! black and dusty! took it out, in the molded sections in the bottom, there was a bit of water, cleaned it all out,
looked at ECU, all dry, spreayed WD around all the electrical contacts, all seamed ok!
plugged Hawkeye in to read Faults, 1 0nly said summat to do with Air??? ive forgot!! lol
anyhow put it all back together, test drove all seemed ok! but i didn't go through any puddles
new injector harness, service kit and Doughnut ordered,

Lucky there, I reckon. A snorkel might be a good idea, in your neck of the woods!
