#4Peel the carpet back around the Pedals buddy and look up and towards the engine bay
What I suspect has happened buddy, is the previous owner had a AMP setup and may of run the power cable through the driver side instead of the passenger side. The hard way
Check around there buddy, if you see a hole then you can seal it with silicon sealer or find a plastic/rubber plug.
Let me know how you get on. -
#5ive finaly sorted my water leak out(or should i say leaks)the first one was my rear drivers side window,the person who had the car before me tinted the windows and they didnt do one of the window screws up,so water was comeing through the screw hole in the window,
The second was in the drivers front wheel arch, there is a half inch gap in the weldin, i took the inner arch off and spotted it strait away,(its up behind the peddles)so i filled it with silicon,and no more water in the footwells...the rain was running down the windscreen,under the bonnet,down the wheel arch,then in that little hole.
My airbag light was always on coz a cable for it runs under the carpet,in the drivers footwell the connector box was under the water,that has now gone off....
