My touring is filling up with water again. Last year i had the carpet out as it was sodden. I thought it was sun roof drains, so i unblocked and cleaned cills and thought id solved the problem. Put dry carpet back in after rust treatment to floorpan and its wet again! im worried for condition of floor pan and general health of the car. Anyone got any advice? Cheers

Which footwell is getting wet - front ones are often caused by either blocked elephant's trunk drain hose on bulkhead, rotten scuttle/bulkhead (check behind glovebox and heater) or rotted out section behind front wheels.

Get someone to run a hose or preferably, pressure washer over the roof while you sit inside and watch where it's leaking.
