Welcome and cool username :thumb2

What's going on with the clutch mate?

leaking into the footwell shouldn't be a massive problem, have you checked door rubbers etc, in fact I'm sure this a common problem with the Maverick and Terrano and there is even a download somewhere for it, i'm sure it's called "wet carpet patch cure" or something like that

I'd be more worried about the clutch as that sounds more fiddly and expensive to be fixing

Thanks for the welcome, bought truck with what i had diagnosed as a knackered clutch, £800 for it tax and tested seemed good money even if i had to spend another £300 on clutch, this was all before i found this club.Turned out it was the master cylinder not leaking but not returning resulting in pressure building up and actuating clutch causing the slipping.sorted now. Concentrating on water leak now hoping its a core plug not cylinder head but will know monday as i wont have time over weekend.
She just needs a bit of TLC and money of course
