Right, I've given it all I've got ! Four hours messing about at 1c and I can't feel my hands or feet, I have reinstalled the headlining as the sunroofs were nice and sealed now, the n/s rear quarter is all trimmed back up and dickie seat replaced.
I masked up and ran another wide bead of sealant along under the gutter, the top trim lip which locates over the gutter edge was filled with silicone and the trim replaced, the joint clips were then filled with sikaflex and replaced. As far as I can see, there is no way that any water can now get from the gutter channel to the underside. If it leaks from the gutter now, it will probably leak forever.
At the rear corner where the straight run of gutter joins the corner run, there is a little taped joint, I'm guessing that this is the "zinc tape" as mentioned in the Landrover technical bulletin for leaks? It was ok at the top and face but underneath there was a little gap where tape had lifted, this looked like another possible leak so that was well covered too.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the rest of trim back in and that'll be the end of the water at the back at least
