Hi guy`s, not sure if this is in the right catagory but here goes. I noticed water in the spare wheel well (about 2" deep)of my 54 plate mondeo zetec,emptied everything out and sucked up all the water but have 2 questions for you all to ponder on.

1, Any ideas what caused the water?? checked for holes and found none and seal looks good.

2, I now need new carpet and also the hardboard panel which sits over the spare wheel well,not sure if the carpet/board comes as one piece or not and have no idea what it`s called...

Any help gratefully recieved.
