Hi
Does anyone have any ideas where i should start looking for holes? The wet patch was right under the clutch pedal.
Cheers

Firstly check all the gutters to make sure water is not overflowing. Could be running down the inside of the engine bay. somewhere. Happens at this time of year with leave falling off trees etc... Also check your mirrors are pushed in fully.

Check the "elephant trunk" drain for heater air intake (grills below windscreen) isn't blocked.
It's on the bulkhead between the battery tray and the rear exhaust side of the engine.

Thanks Brian, it seems to have sorted it.

Could you describe this thing further at all?

Dont spose there is an image anywhere of this drain.

Damnit. Mine was clogged with mud and little sticks. Took it off and cleaned it, dont spose theres a trick to getting the bastard back on?

Had my floor filling up with water for 6 months now, and 2 massive holes in the floor. Cant believe nobody said this before!
