As you said that you are starting work on your classic, I assume that you have not started the engine. If the car is under cover then the water could be a leak from the air heater, then the water will run down under the carpets, never worked on a 'classic' but I would check the coolant level, this could well be the cause. |

The water could collect in both foot wells, the insulation can also act as a wick and spread the water around. I only suggested the heater matrix as with the car under cover, the only water that should be in your car is the engine cooling water. This is on the presumption that the foot wells were dry before the car was parked under cover. As said, check the coolant level, if it's all gone, that's the source. |

Coolant seems fine and I’ve just run the car for half an hour and the footwells are still dry.

Similar problem; not the sunroof, not the windscreen, not the footwells - so I’m hoping the bulkhead isn’t too bad… |

All I can think of now is start trying to replicate the water ingress with a hose pipe / pressure washer and see what happens. With my L322 I once had an inch of water in the spare wheel well after the car had been standing for months, I tried EVERYTHING, but could not identify the leak, and it has never happened again. Still mystified to this day. |

I never found my water ingress source. I just dried it out often Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
