Hi Malcolm,
Over the weekend I removed the passenger wheel and arch lining and can confirm that drainage pipe you mentioned was completely blocked, I would say at least 1litre of water must have drained from it when I cleaned out all the muck. I also noticed two rubber ends that go on the chassis were split so I have repaired them, so there is a chance a bit of water has been getting in there too.
I see now that the rain water must have been getting in through the bonnet vent on the passenger side and in turn was not draining, am I right in thinking this water has been getting into the cabin through cabin heater? I could not see any sign of water getting into the car, only the pool I found under the carpet on the passenger side. I removed the panel under the passenger glove box as well as the passenger foot plate to see if I could see water but nothing.
Am I looking in the correct place? Could water be getting in anywhere else? Do I need to check the carpet under the drivers side too do you think?
The CAN wire's look ok no sign of any corrosion, and I can confirm that I have had no warnings / errors over the last week while the carpet has been dried out.
Thanks in advance.
Antony.
