windscreen seal, sunroof drains, door seals to name but a few, maybe take all the carpet out and get in when it rains, see if you can spot the leak

bottom of the windscreen seal goes mate and if the sunroof drains are blocked that wint help mate...

as above mate take carpets up and get in and maybe use a hose to soak the car and see if you can spot it.

Think thats was probably mine! lol Finally got round to sorting it today.

Was a slight hole in the top corner behind the globox side of the dash. Just cut out the rot and plated up the hole and finished with seam sealer either side. Gotta wait for the sealer to cure before I test it. I should think thats its solved as there was no other rots and everyhting was checked!

As already said, it could be one of many things. Water has a tendancy to run along the edges of things so it can be really hard to find sometimes. Try taking the carpet out and chucking flour on the car whilst having the hose on it. The flour makes it easy to see once it starts leaking through.

I've also seen them rot out behind the brake servo! the one thing to check is all of the drains, they dont take much to block and once they have the y will soon overflow into the car.
