Anyone else had this problem?

My last service (7th annual) they told me I had water under the carpets as a result of the plenum chamber for air con getting blocked with leaves etc and overflowing/leaking into footwell

To fix it they had to dismantle the whole dashboard - £5,000 bill - and then said no longterm issue (see below)

They told me horror stories of similar problems with GT where whole wiring loom had been destroyed and car written off - I got the impression that this was starting to be a regular issue which "no one had known about before" - but seems odd that it's never been checked in the last 7 years?

HI. Mt post was about the front plenum chamber in front of the dashboard, not the boot (which can be interesting! but not so much of an issue when you know about it)

There's a drain plus somewhere under the dashboard (the service guys know where it is) and it gets blocked with leaves etc. They are supposed to check it every service but I suspect they can't be bothered sometimes as it is tricky to get at.
