Went to fit a new trickle charger today and noticed some water in the battery well.
On further investigation, the whole boot was soaking. Took everything out and found a pool of water in the 'spare wheel' well.

There was also water on the lefthand side of the boot under the plastic tray that holds the first aid kit.
I drove it back to Dorset yesterday in the pissing rain, but having taken the battery cage out, looking at the nuts (ooo err missus) it looks like they've been sat in water for a while.

I dried everything out with blue paper towel, towels and sponges and the car's now garaged (it was previously kept on the street).
The question is, where's the water coming from? I'm thinking there may be a blocked drain hole somewhere, but i'm buggered if i can see anything. Any thoughts?
