Your wet ground can come from this problem which I have already had:

In front wings, there are small canals of water evacuationr, they often get blocked with dirts

That clean, please and that should arrange...


For the heater, did you verify the state of the cockpit filter, situated under the black plastic on the out windscreen base (where are fixed up the wipper)?

i had the wet passenger side footwell mate, it turned out to be that my scuttle panel was 5hagged and needed replacing, it was letting water drip on to the pollen filter and hence fall through into the car, i found leaving an electric heater in the car for a day with it on maximum cooks it nicely and gets rid of the water, then get a new scuttle panel (if that is the issue). It could also be the seals around the pollen filter box, i bought new seals and then masticked the box to the bulkhead, it's not going anywhere now.

That water in your car will be causing the condenstion on the inside of the windows, because as cold as we think it is, it still gets hotter and colder, creating humidty inside the car, almost like a greenhouse.

dont really know about problem 2 mate, but 1 and 3 are connected

get rid of the wet floor, get rid of the condensation

hope that helps

spot on mate for the help had a proper look today and that is exactly what is happening the pollen fillter was all wet and when i took the glove box out all the connections for the resistor was wet think the water has sesed the blower motor though cuz now when i turn onthe heater it just pops the fuse

 

[griff82]

any idears where i can get a scuttle panel from cheap?

 

[griff82]

sorry me again,i took the pollen filter out today under the scuttle panel it was was like fan type circle thing, is that the blower fan wicht sucks air from out side cuz i think tahts were the water has got in the water has knackerd it.do you think this makes sense

YEah sounds like you've got it there, replace the fan, shouldn't be too hard or expensive.
