Well it seems that it was the Plenum........................... as I have had no more water ingress since. The right rear foot well is slightly damp right now due to the dog standing on the window switch and opening the window which I did not notice and it rained in.
That's it for me and TGB.

Yes the one under the ECU was blocked when I bought the car but I managed to clear it and re-seat the drain tube which had been pushed down. Reading the forums here helped me trace it and know where and how to unblock it.

Just been trying to find the source of the leak, lifted up the carpet in the drivers footwell, sprayed the car with water but couldn't see any water coming in. Noticed that the plenum was building up with water on the drivers side, the plenum tube was totally blocked under the brake servo. Was difficult to get to but managed to unblock it with a long reach grabber (the kind use to pick up screws) with a thick pipe cleaner wound round it. It's draining nicely now so fingers crossed, but not holding my breath.

Have you cut the tubes at a 45 degree angle under the car to open them a bit, this way they do not stick together when wet link below http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=84865
