Hi Chris,

You have a range of evidence here which we need to consider carefully.

The battery drain could be caused by the alarm and windscreen wipers activity. As Billy advised, remove the plenum cover on the NS. The alarm horn is in there and water could leak into the passenger side on top of the BCU which controls the wipers.

Whilst you're there, check the OS plenum drain as well. It's partially hidden underneath the brake servo. A blockage here (leaves etc) may be the cause of the water on the driver's side floor.

Buy or borrow a smart charger and connect it for 30 hours to recharge the battery. Do this without delay.

Simon
