I done the plenum check and sure enough the one under the shield was blocked which I cleared and quite a lot of water came out, could this have been the cause of ingress of water into the drivers footwell? there had been torrential rain the last two days.

P.s. The Passenger side front and rear footwells were dry.
P.p.s Is there a plenum hole on the drivers side as well? |

Hi Mark.
The last few days will have caught a few member out, there are four draining tubes one each side in the upper wing area, and two in the depths of the plenum area, one on the passenger side which resides under the ECU and below the pollen filter area, the other is below the servo on the drivers side, this can only be accessed from under the car on the Diesel and the 2.5 & 2.0 petrol engines, on the 1.8 engine it can be accessed from above just under the servo on the front fire wall.
Do you have a sunroof if so the water in the foot wells could be from that, or it could have come in via the pollen filter area due to over flow due to the torrent of rain we had in such a short time.
Link below for the sunroof leaks if you have one ?
