Anyone seen water getting in from here?

Scaramanga · 31st May 2015, 05:54

Its a wet day today, on parking i noticed beads of water on the carpet coming in from the rubber grommet around the clutch pedal. If i can see water on top of the carpet, how much is getting below it?

Anyone seen this before?

Someone hasn't put the rubber grommet back in properly, hence the water..

Seen it lots of times, especially after a clutch change!

Check the large grommet around the bottom of the steering column is seated properly.

..and the plenum drain too, under the brake master cylinder.

Plenems checked regularly always clean n dry ( i have Jules' plenem guard)

I take it these grommets are easy to seat properly?
As in, from inside the car?

Thanks for replies everyone.

Regards, Lee

Looks like a case of "win-the-jackpot" lights coming on soon.

All grommets are easy to put into position, use lots of fairy liquid and they just push in.
The steering joint one has 2 parts, fit the underside one first, then the inside one fits into it.
