Well every time I go out in the car if it rains hard I get a trickle of water appear on the passenger foot well mat!
I took off the panel below the glove box to see where it was coming from, but could only see wet on the black and white plastic box that sits behind the glove box so without stipping out further I'm not sure where the leak is coming from. Are there any typical places to check? when I looked from engine bay side it looked pretty dry on the bulkhead.
Thanks in advance Paul

Take the scuttle panel at the bottom of the windscreen off and check the drain holes for blockages. There's a drain running down the bulkhead on both sides.

Also check the door rubber on that side. Does your car have a sunroof?

where ever it is getting in its dripping onto passenger side footwell mat at transmision tunnel side, but as I said its running off the plastic unit that is situated centrally behind the glove box, Im guessing Martin could be right with blocked vents as I cleared top of them where there was leaves muck and sticks so if any of that has gone down vent its probably blocked it
