well as an update, I thought i would check to see if there was any crap where the water drains out, As i remember having been to a car wash once and saw all soap and water still down there, There was aload of leaves and mud, I have ripped all that out down the drivers side, When i was in there i noticed there was a hole into the wing with a main wiring loom run through it, Quite a large hole, Should that have a grommet in ?,

Also where are all the drains and what do they look like, So i can clear it all out and make sure there running free, As i have a feeling if there like the bit itself it will be all crapped up.

Also how do you clean em ?

Yes there should be a grommet anywhere the bulkhead has a hole, what age is the van, on the escort vans battery tray rot is common and leads to floods.

Its a T Reg Van tabetha,

Will inspect the door seals, And i think that that hole in the drivers side wing, Where the main loom goes is the culprit, I will get to the scrappys and get all the grommets and fit them in, See if that cures the problem, Also need to find out where the drain holes are and to clean them out ?
