Carpet sodden; running back under the front seat and into rear passenger areas. Not been through any deep water - baring the odd puddle in south east London. Can't see any obvious causes. Anyone experienced anything similar/suggest anything?

If this gets blocked, the water enters the roof lining and fills the foot well. //Graham G4 SOS (ex BP57 POJ) - RRS HSE TDV8 - 2008 Mongolian Recce Vehicle - Event Registration: 4780 УбР - Fleet No: 78 Sussex 4x4 Response - SX115

Group: Forum Member Posts: 13, Visits: 42	Graham Thanks. Will check that out, but I dried out the footwell this morning, have just driven down to Maidstone and back to Orpington and it's full again! No rain, so I am guessing it might be something to do with the aircon - I was running that on full heat to try to dry out the carpets??? I'm not very mechanically-minded (can just about open the bonnet!) so this is probably a dumb diagnosis, but I can't think of anywhere else in a car that water can be leaking from - other than the water container for the wipers or the radiator - the former is empty and the latter seems to be OK.

Other forums seem to suggest a blocked aircon drain, which sounds an expensive fix if it means dismantling the engine compartment to get to the drain. Ian
