Hi folks,
I have water in the passenger side rear footwell. Before I go mad stripping the car down does anyone have any experience of similar troubles. Thanks Steve |

That's a new one! Usually it's in the front. Have you checked the front carpet?
You won't find anything unless you lift the carpet. There are a few plastic plugs on the floor, maybe worth checking them from underneath to see any damage to the underseal. ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

I had water and i think it came from the drian away. Mine had rusted through. To the left of expansion tank you will see an over flow drain leading from the space where the wiper motor sits. Mine was blocked but directly below it there were a couple of smal holes. Filled them with roofing bitimin until the car is resprayed. I can get a pic if you can't find what i have poorly described. ------------- Toby http://www.bmminiparts.com - New Genuine BMW & Mini OEM parts - www.bmminiparts.com 1987 E30 M3 with turbo being added |

only experience of water in rear foot well came from sunroof drains and have also had problem with boot seal, but if you don't know history of the car it maybe worth checking see if rear window is orginal bmw incase its been replaced badly and not sealed al way round ------------- M tec 530D 2001model. well impressed after so many mercedes.

There's no water in the front and the sunroof drains are fine. I will have alook underneath for missing/damager bungs.
Cheers Steve |
