#1 make sure that the aquarium drain is clear.there is a rubber snout coming out of it at the approximate center of the car. If you look on what appears to be the firewall just behind the intake manifold, you should see a rubber snout with a flap on it. Make sure this is clear. Also, you may want to remove the aquarium cover to see if it is full of tree detritus. Remove it as best you can. I do not think that the 9k A/C drain runs through the car, so this is probably not an issue. if that is not it, your sunroof drain may be disconnected or clogged as well. check by running a small stream of water down the drains with it open. Make sure they drain and that it runs out in the wheelwell. It could be a M/C leak. This may gross you out, but I would stick my finger in it and taste it. Pretty good test. Death does not happen immediately. :-) If it tastes like brake fluid, replace the master cylinder and the clutch hose while you are at it. Never looked at a RHD 9k, but I am guessing that the m/c is on the pedal mechanism like on our LHD cars here in the US.
