Do a search for heater matrix mate - sounds like yours needs changing pronto.

sounds like the heater matrix has gone if you have water in the car.

 

dash out and replace it. or to temp fix you need to disconnect the pipes going into the matrix ( on left of engine going into the bulkhead ) and replace with a loop of pipe to divert the coolant back into the block.

 

not an easy job to take the dash out but not a massive job ( a weekend will see it done and if you are handy with the tools then you could do it in the day ) there is a thread on here that explains how to do it.

could be split and on its way out. bypass the heater matrix inlet/outlet by putting the loop in the engine bay and see if the engine block holds the water level that way you can eliminate matrix as the leak. its also the easiest thing to do rather than dismantle dash.

 

And iv also noticed the spoiler dont work.

cant help with that could be several things

 

And the window screen jets dont work???

clean the jets out with a pin and make sure pump is working
