Flooding, dinging and revving over! - Saxperience

Mornin guys.
right, ive got a few probs here wondering if anyone could help

1st of all, im sure someone else has had this problem, its leaking. im not sure where its coming from but my guess is the sunroof (seal)
inside after a night of rain, which is everynight really, when i set off i get streams of rain water leaking down into the footwells! and from the sunroof winder/lights etc. ive re sealed the plastic once before but this did it no good. any idea where its getting in as id rarther not have 2 showers every morning - its really getting on my nearves now aswell

another little thing is, i seem to get a ding or a clunk from the front drivers side wheel but only turning off my drive - i mean, stopping to give way when driving its fine, only when i pull off first thing, power steering?

lastly is maybe the exhaust? changing gear 1st to 2nd or even 2nd to 3rd, the throttle seems to delay and rev over when ive not even got my foot on the gas pedal! but it doesnt show on the revs

just *bruuuum* with the clutch in and no gas.
i mean, being 18 ive got plans for my sax - maybe throw a straight thru pipe on, racing backbox etc etc but would it be an idea to find out whats goin on or just save sum pennys and get a new exhaust alltogether?

mmm, well thats enough typing. so any help much appreciated

cheers

Im also leaking through my sunroof i think. Its horrible. The footwells are swimming everyday and ive had a look at it but i cant see anywhere water can be getting through, i think ima have a peek at the aerial tomorrow though. Does your's look like the rainwater is dripping down onto your gaiter or any of the plastics directly below the sunroof. Mine doesnt and it worries me, i would have expected a pool of water infront of the gearstick but nada.

If its puddles of water I doubt its the sunroof. Sounds more like the rear jetwash tube has disconnected maybe. Does the rear washer work? If not check on the inside, under the door sill. Will need to lift the carpet up and I think its on the left side.

the water gets in somewhere but does run until i start moving, until the car gets motion if u get me, if i brake water floods forwards etc, round corners i get rained on from the centre light. its so bad. but i have no clue where its coming in from!

Hi matto, yeah the rear washer jet works fine, but ive been loosing water from my Radiator aswell, and having to top it up every day or two, any way it could be that do ya think? Cheers for help.
