With most cars this usually is due to blocked holes that drain water - thus sending the water through the bulkhead:

Have a look under the bonnet Mark, pull the black plastic trim off thats near the windscreen wipers - it really does just pull off! Then in the corners by the wings there maybe a huge pile of wet leaves blocking the drain holes. Clear the leaves out and voila!

Your carpets could do with a vacuum at the same time!


EDIT: do you or Kirsty park it under a tree? - Tis Autummn/Winter and believe it or not those leaves fall off!

In your first post when you said you were getting peed off, I hope you're getting out of the car before doing the peeing.

This could be the cause of your problem.

Is it leaking up from below?

You need to find where the water is coming in.

Sit in the car and get kirsty to hose it
