Yep, the picture earlier in the thread showed car lives by trees, sap, crap and leaves blocking the drains........hose pipe cleared this are on the lads picasso, twas the fist maintenance job done to it. Also the small opening at the bottom of the front wing rear area, the one that lets in crap/mud etc. to behind the wheel plastic arch, should be blasted out with a hose from time to time. The amount of mud etc.. that came out from that area was spectacular....

Has simialr problem with pug 306, water was coming thru the door speaker.....electrical issues so checked the main loom junction box that goes thru the bulk head, all good with a good water seal....

Despatch has water ingress mainly thru corroded roof rack mounts in roof, but the front of the van lived under a tree, so the front drains where full of crap and leaves, that adding to the water intake, the front cab mats weight a ton and took days to dry out outside the cab, the floor was a collander !
