Ok next fault
Water in both footwells, done my research and door membrane seem favourite culprits, door card off and the membrane are good with the correct sealant butyl stuff around the periphery.
Closed the doors gave the car a good hose down and this is what I find.
Next I made 2 drain holes near the pooling water, the door seal already has some factory holes .
This wasn't enough to stop the water spilling over so I decided to pack the seal out at the top to stop the water running down inside the door and pooling at the bottom.
This now seems to have stopped the water.
I also packed out the lower part of the inner seal next to the pooling just to encourage the water down the drain hole
So hopefully thats it sorted, couldn't think of another way to do it, maybe a new seal would cure it but I'm not convinced , the door performs a seal when closed but this water sort of runs down the inside almost above the seal..
Hope this helps someone whose struggling with water ingress
