If you open the Sunroof, you will see the entrances to the drain holes in the front corners. Do you have any signs of water failing to drain from the sunroof? (this would suggest a blocked tube or tubes although i would have thought this would also cause the headlining to become damp)

Another check is the AC drain tubes perhaps (rear of transmission I think which leave the wet patch under the car). Before the FF I had a Disco which did the wet carpet which I used off-road a lot and the rubber drains got blocked causing the same issue as the drain system overflowed. |

Don't think it's the sunroof as poured water down and it drained away fine. Will try windscreen next. What has fallen off today:-) |

Still don't know where it's getting in took the front seat out and removed the carpet all the foam was soaked, the gully where the wiring loom sits was full of water. Dried it out and then soaked it with the hose. No water came in. Poured coloured water down the drain in the sun roof and it came out the drain at the bottom as it should.
