    It could be your heater matrix mate. Have you looked at your coolant level? If your heater matrix pops that its where the water usually comes out.

    It could be from the sunroof mate, have you checked the rubber seal around it? Mine came unstuck not that long ago and I had the same problem as you have.

    Glued it back in and its fine now.

    could be sunroof, check under the lining, it mite have rusted through in the corners. ive just spent this week sorting mine out:

    Got the same problem, havent sorted mine yet cause the saxos going soon but a few people say about a missing rubber gromet coming from the engine bay. Try searching the forums, theres plenty of threads with similar stuff

    thanks for advice people, its definately not the heather matrix because water levels are fine. I think its the sunroof seal because its dripping from around there but then the footwell is wet through?? It could be that flap i need to have a good look after work tomorrow and let you all know. Thanks again people.

    Sounds like one of the bulkhead gromets has either died or buggered off.

    Happened to my old Golf and it was a case of Carpet up, Seat back, Hose on the windscreen, Torch and Wet elbows! In my case, the bonnet cable gromet has decided to leave.
