The "ex-wife-to-be"'s KA has water under the carpet in the driver's footwell. It doesn't have anti-freeze in it, so it isn't coming from the heater matrix under the centre dashboard. It must therefore be rainwater, but the door and windscreen seals look OK. Any ideas, before I get the garden hose out of the shed?

Got the same problem on our Ka.  I think the water is somehow getting through the driver's door seal, but I don't know how...

Let me know when you find out!

Looks like a common Ford problem this then!
BMW 523i Touring - 2.5, straight 6

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you send the wall across the field once you've hit it.

Usually it the pollen filter & its water shield not correctly fitted.
