Car leak

I had this in the passenger footwell of my mk1 golf and it turned out to be because the drainage holes in the scuttle panel were blocked, cleaned them out and it stopped immediately. Then just had to wait for it to dry out which in weathe rlike this can take time!

 

Drill holes? Take the top gear approach and use a rifle...

We had a Maestro Van at work that used to leak water in the footwell.

The lad who drove it regularly went on holiday leaving it in the yard, So.....

 

While he was away we got the keys and sprinkled some cress seeds over the carpet which had grown very nicely into a lovely green salad carpet by the time he came back a week later. :lol:

 

Oddly enough, he wasn't as impressed as us about our gardening skills. :yes:

Is it one with the engine in back ???? - if so it's a rust bucket.

How very dare you , the engine is in the front unless I been sitting the wrong way round . I will save the shooting it suggestion if all else fails though . I am off on holiday soon so will ask a neighbour to have a peep if I cant sort it ( which is likely )

I'll put £20 on it being the door seals. Sit in the car then get the wife to spray you with the hose pipe. The rubber seals have holes in them that can get blocked, give them a poke and if the water squirts out there's your answer. Just get a knife and slice the rubber open at the bottom so the water can drain out if the car and not in.
