Cold Feet

[lotusandy]

Chim is now back out of its winter hibernation, but I've noticed a cold draught about half way down my legs, only starts to apear once I'm doing around 30-40 or so which makes tracing it a bit tricky!
I've felt around as much as I can but cant seem to determine the source of it.
Any ideas where it may be coming from?

If its the same as mine.... right side of drivers footwell there is a hole behind the carpet just in front of the door opening. When you get up some speed air rushes through the hole and eases the carpet forward so it can escape to freeze your feet.

Slow down and carpet settles back , impossible to see even when moving due to location. Try holding your right hand in the footwell just forward of the door shut when moving , bet you feel a nice breeze.

Duct tape is your friend.

Ah! I wondered what that was.

The offending holes:


Same on the passenger side too.

So that's where my recent puddle came from! Couldn't work it out and was beginning to think old age and gravity had taken it's toll................:-)

There's also a vent on the left hand side of the footwell, which has to be manually opened/closed.

I thought this was a 'feature' to keep your legs cool when it all gets up to temp.

Thanks for the suggestions, my carpet is very firmly stuck down everywhere so it can't be that. On further investigation the cold air seems to be coming through from the void where the master cylinders are located, so I will block the gap between there & the footwell & see if that helps.

I'd leave it for now you'll be glad of that draft in the Summer !!
