water in footwell, check aerial as it can seep through various parts of the roof.

sounds like the coil pack mate, is it misfiring?

Also lift the bonnet & behind the scuttle there is a drain hole which can become blocked & let water into the car mate.

missfiring, will most defo be coilpack, from the symptoms im 99% sure its coil pack but replace spark plugs as well as they cheap enough and they are known for breaking down too.

Air bag light, Will be the little orange wire under the drivers seat, very common for breaking on saxo's/pugs

hope this help matt
