Re: Problem with your car?

You could also twiddle with your giggle pin.

But is it likely to be a fault with the thrutching plate?

Re: Problem with your car?

Look closely around windscreen inside and out also if your car has a scuttle panel under bonnet with drain off pipes

Is the scuttle panel where the sea-cocks are located?

Re: Problem with your car?

Scuttle panel as I thought above it is also a common problem on my galaxy, ID2 I would check it twice a year and certainly at the end of summer when the leafs start falling.

Glad you got it sorted m8

Thanks for looking in guys

Look closely around windscreen inside and out also if your car has a scuttle panel under bonnet with drain off pipes and/or holes into the front wings this can also cause a leak into footwell due to autumn leaf and other matter build up.

I would get someone to spray a water over all areas of front of car with a garden hole while you look inside with a torch.

Also if your car has a rear wash/wipe feeding off a bottle in the front check the water feed tube that runs under carpet and panels to the back.

Had you considered replacing the Knapen tubes? (link)

CC, Oscar was only being metaphoric when he said his Car was a shed.

Mind you my Father and myself once held a Rusty old Vauxhall Velux together using a railway sleeper and fibre glass.

Mind you that was around 1963.

Re: Problem with your car?

I had same problem with old car of mine - turned out inner wings had rotted at the seam, and water was running down inside whenever it rained.

Can solve the problem of the footwell getting full again though - big nail, big hammer

Do you have a sunroof? Our old car used to leak water when there was sunroof issues, weirdly - so we sold it as that meant a new sunroof which meant loadsa money!

Re: Problem with your car?

I had the same problem with a VW polo many years ago. Footwell first, then the boot. Turned out all the rubbers around the front and rears screens had rotted

Re: Problem with your car?

well, bit of a guess. Could be what Garlok says, but would think that would have drained your radiator.

Though not quite as bad as yours, I had same problem with old car of mine - turned out inner wings had rotted at the seam, and water was running down inside whenever it rained.
