Water leak
I recently found the drivers side footwells, (front and rear) flooded. This has only happened recently after a humdinger of a rainstorm. I'm pretty sure it leaked forward of the rear seat, maybe around the front bulkhead or door area. I've dried it all out, and looked for traces of watermarks, but non are evident. I'm now in the process of getting a new sensor to fit. The plenum drains are clear, with no sign of water ingress. I've also replaced the drivers door seal, as it was showing signs of wear. Anyone any ideas please?

Does the car have a sunroof? If so I'd plump for the front drain tubes leaking and in which case have a good read of this thread, it explains what to do. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=118622 Paul |

No Paul, it doesn't have a sunroof, that's why I'm a bit baffled!!! BTW, I found 2 Connies in a breakers yard. Several good bits. I got a brand new side impact sensor out of one of them, it was the only good sensor on either car, it fixed mine though.
Thanks anyway, Steve |

Not sure if it's possible? Are both plenum chambers draining water away correctly?
Possibly door seals? Have you had a replacement screen fitted recently? Just offering possible places too try. |

Screen. Not replaced in my ownership however despite the car being out of use for over two years the screen has developed two cracks starting from the left bottom corner so I wonder if is a replacement. Did Rover always fit the same brand of windshield, if so what make? It’s not the door seals as there is water on the toe board above the pedals |
