When I round tight G turn I hear liquid gurgling in the facia and then cold water splashes into one of the footwells.

I believe my air con is not draining the condensation properly (it used to). Any one have any experience / knowledge on what has screwed up??

Check the drain pipe for the air inlet (the plastic grille in front of the windscreen) if that's blocked rainwater will have nowhere to go.

Hi,

This is a problem with draining the moisture gathering due to A/C opertaion in
a humid climate SO it is an interior problem
not an outside to inside one as in rain water
coming in behind the dash ,that would make an
interesting experience with the car's electrics to say the least.

The evaporator box located behind the glove box on the N/S in the middle of the foot well. At the back is a 'v' shaped grove running in a slope from back to front. At the front of the car is a drain pipe. This drains the condensed water from the evaporator box through the bulkhead to the underside of the engine bay. Sounds like your pipe has come off or is directed into the car.
