Hi I read your plight regarding water ingress and living in the UK shows up the weaknesses with leaks. Most people look at the drains but there are a couple of other areas that need to be addressed.
If after clearing the drain holes there is still water ingress there are 2 air intake panels one on each side of the car...when the cover is removed you may find that the plastic panel behind has warped and come away from the body shell allowing heavy rain to run down the inside and it goes into the rear floor wells. This took me 2 years to discover but since they have been resealed - no water ingress! There other area is the front foot wells. I discovered that there is a spongy grommet underneath the battery tray which 'seals' the 2 heater pipes. Over time this wears and allows rain water to run down these pipes into the foot wells. I suffered 2 winters with swimming pool conditions dues to the flow of rain water. I replaced the grommet (costs only a few £s) and since then the car has remained completely dry.
