Went out in the car a few days ago and noticed the passenger floor mat was sodden. Took it out to dry and there was about 1/2" of standing water at the front of the footwell. Dried the car out and gone back to it today and the water is back.
I've checked the door, window and roof seals and they all appear dry.
Any idea where my mystery spring has come from?

Nope still suffering, have covered it up. Will get out with a watering can and another body when I get chance.
I have noticed that the windscreen rubber at the bottom of the screen is coming away on that side so that looks like a potential candidate.
Could be, although I've just had all my seals replaced and now the car leaks whereas it didn't before.I have noticed that the windscreen rubber at the bottom of the screen is coming away on that side so that looks like a potential candidate.
I would check the drains holes in the bottom of the door are not blocked. I had this exact problem. The water level inside the door builds up to the point where it leaks out under the bottom of the door card straight into the foot well. Because brush strip that "seals" the window on the out side of the car is useless - small twigs and leaves and other gunk gets in through it and blocks the drains.
Other places are - the drains under the heater air boxes on the passenger side. These can block as well as there is no air filter for the blower and it can makes its way in through the ventilation pipes. It is tedious removing these air boxes as the scuttle panel has to also come off and the screws that hold them in have usually rusted.
Check to see if the scuttle panel has been screwed down in the corners nearest the windscreen as was the case on my car these screw holes were letting in water - they should not have been there so I just sealed them.
