magic cheers...I got me little card with all the info on still so if I decide to whip the battery out should be no prob. Just checking some sites (Halfords) recon the dipped beam is an H1 bulb..definately removed an H7 (2 blades) from this area (next to the also now failed sidelight bulb..main is still OK!)

Is there an easy way of changing the N/S dipped beam H7 bulb without skinning knuckes, and preferably being able to use both hands !!

Dont really have the time or facilities for removing the interior (not to mention inclination!) as this is my only mode of transport. Probably start parking nose down on the drive after I have dried it out a bit. (May need a visit to the neighbours to discuss their parking habits too)

The problem was originally found in the rear footwell, but after investigation found it was wet in front too. Have done all the relevent around the scuttle which was clear and pollen filter bone dry.
No smell or taste to the water, and I don't seem to be losing coolant. Will try to dryout the foam best I can and keep an eye on it.
May have a go at getting the centre console out and see what is going on behind it at the dash end.

No but was investigating possibilities and the interior on N/S is still wet (not damp, wet) and it did p**s down Monday night. I managed to squeeze a finger up between the bulkhead and the central console and there is some rubber foam there which is wet too, so it looks like it is coming from behind the dash area. The back is still very wet but boot area is absolutely dry; so I have bit wet N/S front, very wet N/S rear, no evidence of it coming through door seals (took plastic trim of and the carpet/ SD felt in this area is dry. Any more idea's as I am seriously thinking "get rid of", which would be a shame as there is nought else wrong with it. 
I think the reason the back is wetter than the front btw is that my drive is sloped down to garage and I reverse on due to inconsiderate parking by neighbours and their vistors (I hate having to do a 5 point turn just to get out of my driveway!)

Ok, back to this again...Over the weekend after a run, I checked under the car and there was water dripping on the ground from around the gearbox area, directly under the dash if you took a vertical line up, which would mean (to me) that the condesate pipe is not blocked from the A/C, which leaves the lower windscreen seal; What is the best way to check this?

Oky Doky...had a good look in the scuttle area, took the drain tube out and took the little flap off the top. It was clear and bone dry, as was the pollen filter.
Guess I need to take it somewhere with ramps of a pit to check the A/C condensate pipe as I can't get under the car, unless there is a way of checking this from inside (preferably without dismantling half the interior).
Question: how long does the sound deadening take to dry out?

Funnily enough...when this was first noticed it was Wednesday before last after a really grotty drive from Hants to Nottingham in heavy rain and spray, the M1 was like a river all the way from M25, although I would have thought that would have pretty much dried out by now..or am I wrong?
I did extract (from the lower end of the drain) a peice of insulating tape and from this end it did seem clear all the way through (can't reach it from the top and didn't have any thing I could bend into position. Will have another go tonight. One other point, I am sure I could just see daylight from the back corner of the 'pit' but not sure if this was just my eyes playing up after a hard day at work.

Hmmm...Ok, scuttle area seems clear; can see the drain and no water...poured a bottle of water down and it all came out underneath.
Checked under the front carpets and lo and behold...H2O. Definately not coolant though..no smell or taste, is there anything from th A/C that could deposit copious amount of water into this area? Door seals all look OK.
