Thanks again for your suggestions and advice...
Since my last update I have been searching the internet for similar circumstances to mine and on one of the forums found that someone had a leak under the boot gutter drain. This sits just under the boot hinges and is a long piece of plastic that goes from one side of the car to the other. If you can manage to get this off without breaking the fixings (another great design vx, thanks) it can be seen that there are, what i can only describe as metal bungs which fit into holes within the chassis. On my nearside 'bung' u noticed that there was a hairline crack in the weld/glue that secures it so i have smothered this in silicone.
This may be me going down the wrong route again to find where the water is coming in but it seems to make sense as if water entered the chassis here it could go down both the b pillar which would fill up the footwells and down the c pillar to put water where i found it under the atmosphere pressure vent in the boot.
Sorry for banging on for so long but i wanted to put what i had found 'out there' so if anyone else is scratching there head for weeks whilst driving a mobile foot spa trying to work out what has gone wrong, this info may help them to get to the cause quicker!
