New matrix required ;)

Plus stripping the carpet and sound insulation to get it properly dried out.
Does this mean that matrix leaking is causing the water to somehow make its way under the car above the gear box as it’s dripping on the drive from that area
Or have I got two separate leaks
You may have two leaks or the matrix has failed at a point where it's draining down the aircon evaporator drains.

Set the climate panel to LO on both sides and press ECO if it's too cold.  ;)

All sorted
It was the heater matrix
I was dreading this job
Took one out of a car that I’m breaking and put in to the new car all within 3 hours
A very easy job to do
You have to break part of the footwell to gain access
All I would say is
Before you do this , peel the vynal trim away first
Then break away the exposed panel
Once job is complete glue back panel ( I used araldite ) and then stick trim back on using carpet glue
If your careful enough you can never tell it was taken apart
