I have water dripping in from the tailgate.
As you'll no doubt be aware, water can enter from a different place to where you see it.
I know it's a fair old job, but if you can peel back or remove the carpets, sit in the car while some one hoses the car down then at least you can follow it's track and have the benefit of properly drying the carpets at the same time..Start from the bottom of the car and work your way up, giving sufficient time for the water to run down before moving the hose position.
sorry I can't be of help

I have the 1.8tdci 2009 cmax version and have had an intermittant judder which failed to leave a trace. Been like it for a while. Felt same as a missfire feels on a petrol car, then runs fine with out leaving any clues.
Ford diagnostic checks showed nowt....very frustrating for everyone..untill today that is.
Went out today,dual carriageway, the car gave about six judders straight after each other (usually does one). I pulled on to a side road and then on came the warning message....engine malfunction and limp home mode was engaged. Without turning the engine off, I phoned the ford dealership and said the problem had gone live, he said get the car to him without turning off the engine. I did so with a struggle.
The mechanic quickly came over with the diagnostic kit and yippeeeeeee, number three injector open circuit.....at last you bar steward i thought " you've shown itself". The fix takes place next week.
Hope this helps others who feel they may have a diesel miss fire.
