put my hand round the back and i tthink its coming from a plastic pipe round by the heater somewhere, anyone know why this is and how i can stop it?

If the car's got air con then there's a drain there for the water than condenses on the evaporator. I think there's a how to on the coupe club but as much as I remember it's just removing the centre console, pulling the pipe & making sure it's clear.

ive been reading on here about the heater matrix and it being a big job, or is this a different kind of leaking?

It's here http://www.406coupeclub.org/phpBB3/view ... 45&t=24934 but I think you need to be logged in the site to see it.

so is the heater matrix problem something else? as this is only the 2nd time ive known of it happening, so maybe last time i turned the air con on for a bit.

Depends what the fluid is, it's a bit suspicious that you're (possibly?) loosing coolant at the same time.

yh although the water on my floor is odourless, the coolant prob has been happening for a year or more now, i thought id fixed it by changing the thermostat but seems i havent although could my sensor be dodgy? ive noticed i dont have any fill level indicators in my coolant tank, so maybe ts broken off and dropped into the tank?

Does the level actually drop? I couldn't tell you where the level sensor is on mine, I know there's a box on the top of it with wires but I've no idea how it reads the level

yh the level had dropped quite a bit, just filled it up again, its quite a slow leak tho, think was at least 2 weeks since i put the new stat and coolant in, so this is too slow for a headgasket isnt it? what about radiator?

looked at that link you gave me and it seems that might be the problem, as i say there is no odour so im pretty sure it isnt the coolant, im juyst worried about why im lossing coolant every few weeks.

If i were you i would put a drop on my finger and taste it,if it has a sickly sweet taste it's coolant but no taste and it's probably condensate,that is pressuming you have anti freeze in the engine.

It's the easiest test going, I was thinking to suggest it then I thought about how poisonous antifreeze is.. spit, not swallow

I was a bit dubious about telling someone to taste it but were a hardy bunch us 406 owners
