   on my saxo there is a rubber grommet in that hole(if its the same place)that has perished which lets water into the footwell.

   i came in my car on saturday and the rear drivers footwell had a puddle in it and about every 15 seconds there was a drip of water coming out the interior light, today when i came in my car the front drivers side footwell was also drenched, earlier on i tried to look for drainage hole as i think this may be whats wrong, where exactly is the drainage hole and behind what strut, also when i find it how do i unblock it, sorry for the long thread lol, cheers

   Leakage Seems to be a common problem on the saxo's I had a leaky passenger footwell and it turned out to be a damaged door rubber, so i changed it and it was problem solved!

    Check the drain pipe on your sun roof isnt blocked!! this can cause water on and under your carpets...

    i also share this problem and cant be arsed with it any more , i first traced it to the heater matrix , car was stinking of coolent and the floor was blue , stuck some k seal in that sorted that. then it was coming in through the radio arial and through the map reading light but not enough to cause the puddle that was there i think its coming from the top of the drivers door now and running in some how
