I've just returned from a rather wet weekend jaunt around Europe. Parts
of Belgium were so wet, aquaplaning became boring. One particular piece
of water on the motorway was so big and deep that it created a complete
wall of water every time a vehicle hit it.
Last night we noticed the rear RHS footwell was very wet. Carpet
completely soaked, plus a little water sitting on the top - but not the
front. Thanks for posting this - it's given me a pretty good idea where
to start looking.
