Water leak behind fuse box!

[jim182]

Ok so i was driving in the rain earlier and felt my foot get very wet, turns out that there is a fair amount of water coming in from somewhere behind my fuse box!

Does anyone have any idea where its coming from and how to stop it??

Cheers

Blocked drain holes near at top of OS  wing.

Could be either following the bonnet release cable and/or throttle cable.

The rubber grommets shrink with age allowing the water in.  Either replace cables or go A-Team and cover rubber in grease.

check all the grommets are present for the speedo cable, throttle cable and bonnet catch cable, and all blanking grommets are in place.

Replace any that are not.

It's always worth pocketing various grommets from the scrappy on any visit

Unblock the drain holes in the scuttle panel, usually blocked with leaves and general krud
