As above, OH's car has been left standing outside for just over a week.

Ive not seen the car as of yet, but she said there was 1-2cm water in the rear footwell, and the back seats were covered in that white fluffy mould, not huge amounts but enough to cause concern.

The ceiling was dry so no obvious dripping from there, and all windows were closed shut.

Any idea where the water could be coming from? and whats the best way to go about it getting rectified?

Any help appreciated

Very common, I'm afraid.

If its in the rear footwell, I'd bet on the door seals.

Have you checked in the wheel well in the boot?

Water commonly gets in through the high level brake light on the tailgate and also the rear lights.

Toyota did a seal kit for the Aygo. Not sure if Citroen did the same.

Do a search for "c1 leaks". There's loads of info available on possible causes/ cures.

Good luck. smile
