Seal the covers with a good load of silicone, the covers bend in the middle so it needs to be a good dollop.

Also put a blob on the threads and heads of the screws that run the length of the scuttle ;)
Does that really help given the huge fresh air intake will let large amounts thru and drains to the same place?
Do i need to take the inner wings off to see the drain tube? There's nothing obvious at all near the mud flap

There are 2 drain holes in the scuttle, one at each end, water just flows through them ;)

No pipes, atleast from what I can recall when I cleaned the crap out of the scuttle area!! ;)

Haha ok, sorry I'm thick!! I'm sure someone said to unblock them o_O
Assume it's more than a 5 minute job to get all that plastic off and hopefully not break stuff :(

You need a good screwdriver and some patience! ;)

It's just a jigsaw, quite an easy one ;)

Putting the bonnet in service mode helps
 
Kermit, Has yours also got the central scuttle panel guaze filter fitted to it??? this can be classed as a service item. On my Westminster ( Now dead and gone ) LOL, it was all manky so i replaced it with a new one. I had to remove all the wiper arms etc and lower screen trim to be able to remove it all and then fit a new central filter. I have noticed a lot are missing on P38's and maybe because its a nauze to change BUT it is supposed to be there to prevent rain/water ingress and dirt etc which can cause the blocking up syndrome. Its all preventative maintanance buddy and it looks better with it in place too.
Regards,
 
Thanks :) appreciate your input 'enry, the pics help! Sounds like a job for the next weekend it's dry, I've got nowhere i can even nose him in while i do it

If it lets air thru I'm sure it lets water thru too!! But yes, i have some fish tank filter stuff for that purpose as the foam rots
 
I cant find the original it was a long time ago, but it has to be trimmed to size, I just outlined the old one with a pair of scissors
 
You definitely need a good screw driver half the screws broke off on mine give them a good spray with releasing stuff 1st
