Check the rear lights mate they r favourite on the 80's for letting in water

iv replaced the seals on the light's :(
other than that im at a total loss ,
its also been leaking into the rear driver's side footwell,

any chance its the sunroof ?

Sprinkle talcum (baby) powder around the area you think the leak is, then when the water runs you will clearly see where it is coming from or indicate another area for more talc to be applied. Then just hoover up the surplus :idea:

Quite possibly, one of my friends had the same problem with his Mk1 Golf... just open the sunroof and check that the drains are clear (one in each corner). You'll need a fairly long bit of stiff wire, as the front pipes go down the front pillars, and the rear drains go down the rear pillars.

Good luck.

you could just pour water down each sunroof drain and make sure it comes out the underside of the car should be from behind the front wheels and infront of the back wheels
