I have apparently water sloshing around in the boot. I've had a looking can't see or hear it myself but where are the drain holes or plugs?

Normally at lowest points. So bottom edge of the rear inner wings and bottom of the spare wheel well/luggage compartment.

Modern cars don’t have drain holes in the boot . There may be some body plugs that can be pushed out and refitted. I think your problem is more to do with water entering the boot where it shouldn’t. Could be coming in through the rear lights or boot lid .

If there is enough water to slosh then surely you can see it if you remove the boot trim to look

Who told you it was water in the boot, maybe it is fuel in the tank?

In any case put the roof up when it is raining!!

So who has seen and/or heard it? Could they have heard fuel sloshing around in the tank?

Water can be heard sloshing in a car's sills - long and narrow. It's many years (decades) since it happened to me, but it definitely did.
