Swimming in driver's footwell

Has anyone else got wet feet while driving their RRS yet?

Noticed that the carpet and mat under the pedals is absolutely soaked.. not had chance to call dealer yet and get it looked at, but has anyone else had a similar problem? it's dripping from under the dash somewhere but I can't think where it's coming from - the car hasn't been sat out in the rain for ages...

I did notice that 2 days after delivery (4 weeks ago), I got back to the car after work to find all interior windows & sunroof literally dripping wet with condensation - thought it was strange at the time but it hasn't done it since.. I reckon the two problems are linked.

To have to wipe your feet on the way out of the car is not good on something costing the best part of £50k. I know I live near Lincolnshire but I don't have webbed feet so would appreciate a dry driving environment.. Sad

Advice please?

YOU BEEEAUTY!!!! Adam I owe you a beer. Laughing

If anyone else finds thet they leave wet footprints on the driveway after getting out their car, this is it. There's a panel in the left wall of the well (ha! it IS a well at the moment!), behind it is the aircon drainage pipe which wasn't connected to anything.. source of the water found!

now I just need to make sure the standing water is drained and dried thoroughly before it rots the carpets - it's found its way under the driver seat and into the rear door sills now.. now, where's the wife's hairdryer...

Thanks again - this really shows the value of a super-friendly forum! Very Happy Very Happy

Glad to hear that was it. If you have fixed it yourself I reckon you should highlight it to Sturgess and make them aware of the issue so that if any damage does occur from the water on the floor, they understand it's not from your fault or usage.

You may of course have already done this....

I do a great course in teaching people how to suck eggs! Very Happy L319 D4 HSE

I hadn't thought of doing that but you have a very good point - if the carpets rot away within a year you can bet they won't replace them if they think I've spilt something on taken the car for a swim..

Thanks again! RRS Supercharged
