51plate Cooper, it is absolutely soaked inside with condensation on the windows after being left idle for a few hours. The boot and passenger footwell are absolutely saturated aswell. Seems common after Internet search, wondering if anyone experienced similar?

Two areas to look (Had both) If there is a sunroof the pipes that drain the water can some time leek. The other thing that can happen on the front A pillers are a cover on the out side (plastic) If the cover is damiged or and the seal on the inside has gone it will let water in to the foot well. I have replaced both on my wifes car and the new seal is a lot bigger than the old one. If you oppen the door and pull away the door rubber seal near the a post you can see a row of I think 4 screws, this is where they normly crack/get damiged.

If you thnk it is the sun roof re-post and I will give you an outline of what you have to do to fix it.

Not more than half a days work and all is dry in my wifes car (Plus a couple of days drying part out in the house).

Cheers, No sunroof on my model. Shall investigate the A-pillar areas, I can occasionally hear water sloshing around the engine bay area. In the garage ATM having the ABS sorted, turning into a nightmare!
