Don't know about the water, heater matrix maybe? As for the check light, that's how it's supposed to work. When you press the pedal for the first time the check is performed and the light goes out.

check the hose in the engine bay on the bulkhead some refer to it as an elephant trunk this gets clogged with shite and cause the water to enter the cockpit also i cleared all the channels at the front under the scuttle as these were also clogged and causing the running water toenter where the top of the heater matrix is.
i'll post some photo's the weekend if this hlps

If your getting water in the front footwells and boot check your sunroof drain channels, either they are rotten to the core or blocked.

how do you check them and what do you do if there rotten
thanks
