i menat that the systems below the flimsy exterior are tough    if that much water had gotten into a French car it would have surrended and be heading for the scrapper!

Yes

I guess I've just spent £4k on a car and it's annoying when stuff like this happens. Common fault aswell 

Maybe you should all pull the cover out (4 screws to right of windscreen wipers) to check it's condition. 2 minutes for peace of mind.

I shall write up a thread later so we can keep it in maintenance section for future visitors!

Do you know what, its funny you say that, mine was actually split in two. I had to remove mine to replace my wiper pump and mechanisim (another commong fault lol) and mine was totally snapped and was in two bits but I didnt think anything of it and didnt cause any problems, guess I was just lucky.

You were, the whole in mine was directly above the pollen filter. How the last owner got way with it I don't know as it's looks like it's broke when it was shoved in incorrectly. I lost a screw or two asell so had to order those!
