I have a build up of water collecting in drivers side footwell,not loads but enough to make the carpet wet.
I guess this has to be a series of elimination to find the leak so I have started by putting tape over all the front windsreen seals.I have already taped the sunroofs as they also leaked previously. Anybody got any ideas where I also need to look to eliminate the problem? Cheers

Mine did it and it was the aircon drains blocked. However, I suspect you're not using the aircon much these days......

Aircon drains are up under the front of the transmission tunnel just behind the bell housing - one either side. They're just little rubber theings with a slot in the end which you can clean out with a bit of wire whilst the dirty water runs down your arm.

I took mine out as I don't do wading (certainly not that deep!) and also fitted a bit of tube to the nearside one so the water didn't go straight onto the XYZ switch.
