I can't help with the water in the footwell problem but I am also a Paul M from Blackpool.

Welcome along buddy, there are quite a few of us locally should you need a hand with anything :smile:

Haha Paul M your not a Martin are you ? Typhoon said scuttle drain, ive had the scuttle off but cant see any drain only a big hole that some wires go through on the drivers side under the scuttle area. Maybe its missing a rubber gromit ? any more help Typhoon would be great. Thanks

You can tag people to make them aware which will bring their attention back to the thread for you, just use the @ sign followed by their username (A little list should pop up when you start typing) @Typhoon etc

Also a quick search for the location of the drainage holes brought back the following... "both front foot wells were full of water. Cut a long story short , the cause was the centre heater bulkhead drain tube blocked situated under wiper trim. Full of leaves, so I threw it away and not had any problems since. You can pull it out very easily it's just to the left of the coolant bottle behind heat shield padding"

That may point you closer to where it is.
