Hi i have a 1998 R Ford Puma 1.7 16v.

I had the dreaded water leaks . The passenger footwell was soaked and the drivers one a littlbe bit damp.

The procedure as follows was:

1/. First i took out the scuttle panel and gained access to the bulkhead. Sealed the hole to for the wiring.

2/. Removed the fusebox and cleaned out all the mud underneath.

3/. Checked the air-con drain tube, which wasnt blocked.

4/. Went in behind the front wing and the wheel arch liner. Plenty of mud under there but still not the problem.

5/. Finally found the gromets in each sill near the front corners of the floorpan. Both sides were leaking. Sealed the gromits and no problem.

Hope this helps somebody.
