i wonder if anybody can help me,having left my cerb on the drive all week in the rain it seems to have taken on some water,both driver and passenger footwells are soaked!!!!
can anyone shed some light on where the water comes in?

hiya L.A,the car was on a slight slope (front higher)i have looked at the seals and they seem good????

hi

check the rubber seals on the doors on the top of the
panel just below the window, in heavy rain they
sometimes let water run over and down the inside of
the door, they might need replacing

2 Clutch master cylinder cover
3 Pedal box securing boIts.
4 Brake master cylinder reservoir
5 Bolts securing the bonnet stay rod bracket
6 Oil pipe union
7 Scuttle panel securing riv-nut
8 Brake block mounted on toe-board
9 Grommet in floor pan
10 Bonnet release shaft
11 Door seals
12 Windscreen
13 Bolts securing the bonnet lock bracket
14 Steering column bearing
15 Indicator side repeater

O/S AND N/S OF VEHICLE (REAR)
1 Door seals
2 Seat belt securing bolts
3 Grommets in floor pan
4 Rear screens

1 Wiring loom grommet (or multi-plug connector on early cars)
2 Gromet for wiper motor wiring
3 Wiper motor securing bolts
4 Expansion bottle bracket securing bolts
5 Heater pipes

Ensure that door seals are fitted tight into all corners and that the drain holes in the sills are unblocked.

The best way is to get your head inside each footwell, with a torch, whilst running a hose on the roof and look for the ingress points.

or.... theres a few holes on driver side where the throttle cable comes in and sometimes it gets through the clutch cylinder cover and then down by the peddles. Theres another hole on passenger side behind the expansion tank.
All should be grommeted and/or sealed but you never know.
