Whilst I had the car on a jack earlier today,I noticed the passenger side floor area has started to disintergrate :-X :'(
It seems that its the section that has 2 large black rubber grommits in it which I assume are drainage plugs and if you push it with a screw driver it just goes through.What caught my eye was when the car was raised water ?? seemed to be dripping from the rubber bung nearest the front so had a closer look and think the water has started rotting the floor .
Question is firstly can this be welded /repaired....and secondly why would this be leaking water as must be rainwater within a chassis member or box section.

Lifting the Passenger side carpet & soundproofing will probably reveal that you've had a very longstanding water leak into the footwell, either from a regularly blocked scuttle drain, or a loose/missing grommet in the drain box section area, a leaking windscreen or a badly sealed door rubber :-\

So its a trip to see a man with a welder then ?.
Never suspected anything a miss as scuttle has been regularly cleaned out ..so maybe windscreen.
Need to add that to the list of ..."jobs which need doing"..work/money pit mounting >:(

When the skuttle drain on my diesel blocked I lifted the carpet to help it dry out. After seeing how thick the sound proofing was on the bulk head I decided to remove it all and swap it for one I was breaking. It would have taken months to dry out on its own :(
