   Hello me and my fiancé brought our first car just over a week ago a saxo vtr, and since then we have had heavy rainfall the car is taking in water and from what we can see it's coming in by where the seat runners are and only on the drivers rear footwell .... We have checked the sunroof drains and they are ok and no water coming through the roof and we have unblocked the windshield drain.... We are just wondering if there are anymore drainage holes we haven't checked... Under the car?

   Saxos in their prime were the number one selling car back in the day.
   
   As for the Original post ; your door seals ok? Car aeriel not leaking?
   Failing that, lift out your carpet. You may need to un-do the passenger seat to check. see said guide below :

   Best way to find a leak is to put someone in the car, cover the car in talcum powder, and then blast with a hose pipe / pressure washer. You can then see the trace mark from the powder into the car.
