Someone has told me about this problem before. I may be wrong but I think it's fairly comon for these cars to leak where the pollen filter housing attaches to the body. If this is the case I assume you're talking about the passenger footwell

Common problem on old shape focus', the pollen filter palstic cover has not been stuck back to the window, so it leaks.

Not sure if it's the same with pumas, though.

Many thanks for the reply..
its the drivers side footwell thats gets standing water n its driving me the pollen filter is bolted to underneath of bonnet but its not connected up and has no filter in so i have just taken it off..

I thought it was coming from the screen as the base plate wasn't flush to the screen so i've sillicon sealed it..

Its just trial and error at the mo to find the problem[/quote]

Very common on mondys as well caused by pollen filter housing, not being sealed to body correctly.
