I never bothered to get it fixed cause its in the boot

Water leaks are a real pain in the *** to find, the only way is the garden hose, huge volume of water and get yourself into the footwell to see where its coming from, if you can't see it then its a dash out job and given what it would cost its not economical to do.

If you take the dash out, then replace the heater core while you're there as its a common failure on LV that they also leak.

If the A pillars are rusty thats another cause of water leaks causing the driver side carpet to get absolutely saturated - it gets in then goes down the inside of the A pillar into the carpet - windscreen out job to check, is cheaper than pulling the dash.
