Default Checked plenums

I just checked plenums, apart from a few dead leaves in the cavity they are bone dry and drains are clear. (I removed leaves while in there)

When I pull away or put my foot down I can hear water sloshing hence why I checked plenums. I can't see any water anywhere so any idea where else it may be gathering

Have a look at your spare wheel.

I put spare wheel on Christmas Eve due to puncture and didn't see nothing. I've heard sound of water for about 3 weeks now. I will check under back seat after work tomoz. The sound seems to come from front end in front of passenger hence I thought plenum

Someone might correct me if I am wrong, I was told can't remember when, that if one or more of the rubber drains are missing, they might have been pushed through from the top of the wings, water could get trapped between the bulkhead and the cabin, not in the plenum. See if one or more are missing.

for the water, check the bottoms of your doors, if the seals are pants against the door glass then the water runs straight down inside...
