Bit of house carpet underfelt would do steve. Just deadens noise a bit and gives you a bit of a soft comfort feel for yer tired old feet

cheers for copying across Rob.
took fusebox out as far as it would go today and all is fine underneath ,so can only assume water is coming in through windscreen seal.will keep searching till i get there

right dash is out and leak looks like its coming from below corner of windscreen,about 3"down.there is a bit of rust on A pillar bit so must be about there somewhere ,possibly coming in from where wing joins,still awkward to get in properly.
have dried out fotwell area so just see what happens next rainstorm.
