To be fair it isn't a problem that has been fixed. i have a Rover 75 and the drains block on that, drowning the ECU. It isn't the only modernish car with that fault.
Fiat panda is another. No harm done and the sound of a gallon of rainwater sloshing around tells you it's time to clear the drain again.
One for Dave (Toledoman) I spent a day messing with a C4 Grand Picasso that had very audible sloshing noises when cornering and quite a lot of water getting into the drivers footwell. But before I got a chance to get it in and deal with it, it arrived on an AA truck with a failed throttle potentiometer and a duff heater fan motor. The potentiometer dried out and resumed functioning after a day or two but the fan motor was toast and had to be replaced. If anyone needs to know, the drains are accessed by removing the rearmost part of the wheel arch shields, reaching in and forcibly removing the rubber boots on them. this has a tube with a flap which lets water out but clogs with leaves etc. Best removed altogether, water can't get IN that way as the arch shield covers it!
