Some holes are in the inner sill to allow for cable feeds, mountings etc, so it may be ok. You really need to have a look (see if its pressed in originally or rotted through!). Its possibly more likely that you have a leak from the windscreen, sunroof drain or door seal but we can't tell from here obviously. I would suggest if you are concerned about the hole, post a pic here and other 123 owners can put your mind at rest.

Then its seats out, carpet up and get a mate with a hosepipe job....
cheers,

sorry guys - seems the light hearted reply was taken in the wrong way

I'll try not to bother with a sense of humour in future - let's hope everyone else does the same - it will make this such a great forum.
