Also remove the cover from the waterbox and check the drains aren't blocked with leaves.

I think I've known about a dozen people over the years who've assumed it's the heater matrix, girded their loins (bastard of a Job on a Type 44) and found the drains were blocked.

I dont believe i have a leak, ive been out there today for hours pouring water all over the sunroof, doors and scuttlte panel and the water runs off away from the gaps.

I cleaned and checked the drains on the front wings, on the drivers side the water runs out at the bottom of the wing where the mudflap is, on the passenger side it seems to run off away to the centre of the scuttle panel and down and out?????

I'll check that flap tomorrow, thank you
