My car has been sitting unloved out on the drive all winter. Got in it today and found the drivers footwell is absolutely soaked. Any thoughts on where this has come from?

First thing I'd check would be the elephant trunk on the drivers side bulkhead mate. Could be blocked, if so the rain ect that runs down the windscreen and into the scuttle area then out through the trunk will go else where (into the cabin)

1. What's it worth?
2. Soaking wet footwells
3. What's this dangling wire for?
4. my central locking won't work
5. how much petrol do i have when the warning light comes on?
6. ............................
