Water ingress will be blocked scuttle drains. Very, very common on these. The under floor storage areas can fill entirely with water.
You need to remove the plastic cover and wiper blades then each side wiper motor. You'll then see a load of water and need to unblock the drain holes. When you do you'll probably have a big whoosh of water and loads will drain out.
It's basically standard on them.
I did read about this, but unfortunately it's not clogged scuttle drains, though they could be causing lighter rain water heard coming into the dash.
There is a persistent heavy sound of rainwater into the drivers door, and separately near the rear passenger door, but I believe the latter may be due to the bent door which is allowing water to run under the passenger underfloor storage box, and also into the mid section of the car.
The underfloor box itself can't be removed easily, but putting anything through the hole on it's edge and down into the car floor comes out soaking wet.
The drivers door water issue has destroyed the door's foot courtesy light. It's a rusted mess.
I've posted elsewhere about all the problems and the car's MOT issues (not mentioned here) I'm think I have to reject the car back to the dealer. I doubt he's going to cough up for all this stuff and it'll cost me. I guess I needed to see it all in written text, along with replies to get my head clearer on what to do (if that makes sense)
Thank you though.
