    And watched rivers of water flowing from around windscreen. And all holes, and every unsealed genuine build space. As in previous posts leaks can be from, well everywhere really Good luck
    Having lived in Sydney before I saw the light/came west to improve the breed, I can confirm it can rain/downpour just as hard here, and has done so a few times in recent days. The benefit we have is sand, so that often the downpour will disappear relatively quickly. Keep up the good work with that fascinating thread.

    thanks lets put it this way every seam/hole anything not without purpose has been filled/closed. To extent that there is no fresh air vent into bulkhead now and decker panel fresh air vents will be there... But dummy's, blanked off behind.

    Less likely then, but they are easily checked, same relative positions either side of the transmission as a D2.

    Another random thought is blocked sunroof drains. Caroline's Golf suffered wet drivers footwell last month and this was the diagnosis..... But the Golf drains exit high in the firewall, whereas from memory the rangie ones exit lower down.

    Indeed they do... just above the gearbox, - you know, where you need to crawl underneath and get oily & grubby...

    Mine were blocked quite high up and, forsooth, the sunroof becameth a rain-bearing cloud during inclement weather... Builds up in the recess up above, then overflows when required.

    The drains are made of (natural?) rubber, and we all know what rubber does after 20+ years in the heat !
    - needs a semi-rigid but gentle 'wire' to poke up from that oily grubby place.
