Most probably the screen, could be the seal thats gone. Check to see if its letting it in between the seal and screen itself.

Could it possibly be the heater matrix?

In my rover 2000 (when it was running and my brother owned it) the heater exchanger was leaking water exactly in the drivers floor pan.He cured it by by-passing it.

Could be sunroof drain tubes. These exit at diagonal corners of the
sunroof body as metal tubes, then connect to rubber tubes which run
down the A pillars behind the trim.

As Kerosene suggests, could be the heater matrix. I've got this
problem with my Vitesse, but that leaks into the passenger footwell
(RHD car). Should be easy to see if it's the heater matrix as coolant
is coloured.

hi people
just letting you know it was the screen,sealed it both sides[the top corners looked suspect after removing the angle trim]seems to have worked
thanks for your help

cheers
