Does anyone know why when I put the hot air blowers on water starts coming into the passenger footwell from under the glove box ? Is there a drain somewhere? Has anyone had this problem any ideas would be great thanks

If the water is hot , then I would think the heater matrix is leaking . Needs investigation sooner rather than later.

Try to collect some of the water somehow, and test for colour or smell to find whether it is rainwater or coolant. If this is a new problem it's likely to be a leak from the heater, but it has rained a lot lately ....And if the level in the coolant reservoir is dropping that might confirm the diagnosis.

It sounds like your car's drain might be blocked. When the heater or AC is on, water can build up and leak into the footwell if the drain is clogged. You might need to clean the drain or get a mechanic to check it.

Can't see how turning on heater or AC has any effect on water built up due to a blocked drain. Unless the fan sucks strongly enough to suck standing water up into the intake, which seems unlikely
