Default Water leaks - help!

My drivers side footwell keeps filling up with water!

Its a '92 saph.

Ive checked the sunroof drainage holes and the windscreen scuttle is all clear, no leaves or crap in there.

I'm fast running out of ideas. Anyone had this, or cured this, or have any idea where I should look next?

Thank you in advance!!

Mine did the same thing, the water was getting through the gromitt for the ABS loom and the engine loom which is located directly under the battery tray. I put some sealent round the gromitts and made up a plastic deflector type thing that keeps the water away from them.
