Hi
As a result of last weeks floods my Alhambra turned into a swimming pool,
the car was parked with the front nearside at it's lowest point and therefore all water running off has entered the passenger side footwell, it was so bad that the central locking and alarm sender which is located under the pasenger seat in the footwell was totally immersed in water after a nights rain.I managed to dry this out with the help of a hairdryer and WD40 as initially the alarm, electric windows and central locking went into overdrive!
i removed the scuttle panel and checked the drain hole on that side but it did not appear as if it was blocked but I did find a small stone sitting around the hole I'm hoping that this was the cause and the water just couldn't get away and over flowed into the pollen filter and down the inside of the footwell.
Has anyone else had a similar experience or perhaps knows of the problem and more importantly can offer advice on how to solve it?
