Today , the sun and radiant heat was so bad at 10 am i was leaking profusely. Now if i could have your cold probs i would be happy! Its to be 37 celcius on Sat and at work we go home at 35 with full pay so HAPPY DAYS!!! Now , sounds like a rubber 'o' ring kit needs to be put in to yur heater piping through the bulkhead. look at the forum history to find a "HOW TO".

The rear washer had gone on mine mate. Its actually a seperate pump located under the front right wing away from the water tank. The pump was working, but the inlet port had broken, so I unlipped one from a spare pump I had off a 940 and fitted it. Works great now. Check the pump first to see if its working and check for leaks, then follow the line from there.

Damp footwell usually points to a knackered heater matrix, as already said, is it using a lot of coolant?. Mine is going, but not completely gone yet, I've got to source a replacement.

Do you have a sunroof? I've had several experiences over the years of the seal on the sunroof going off and allowing water in - just runs down the A-pillar and into the footwell.

gotta say the four wheel drive is pretty darn impressive, this snow has made me realize its not all about having a speed machine, found some great fun in the corners at speeds as low as 20 lol

The fan issue is due to the resistor having blown -ts behind the glove box and easy change but read the manual and amke sure yopu get the right one as there are different types NOT interchangeable.
