Have just been tinkering with the car this morning, went to disconnect battery and found there was a swimming pool in the chamber behind the engine bulkhead where the battery sits!
I'm sure this wasn't there the last time I checked anything under the bonnet....
Surely there must be a drain hole for this area as all the water that comes off the windscreen ultimately drains into this scuttle area?
The only drainage I could find was a small grommet-lined hole approx 5mm across that had a battery breather pipe pushed through it (am not sure if this is factory correct as the battery is not original....) .
On pulling the pipe out nearly all the water has now drained away, but as the hole is so small and sits above what looks like the clutch slave cylinder on the gearbox surely this cant be the only way out for water....?
I did have a good look with a torch but couldn't see any other outlet for the water, I'd be grateful for any info as obviously in this weather I don't want this to continue.....
