I think its heat build up as look were they put the stupid thing!!! silliest most stupid place

Yep!  As with a lot of design features on these V6's.

As said before even the dear old Austin mini was easier to work on for access to the plugs, leads, distributor, dynamo, water pump, etc!

Yes I agree TB, the old DIS did well for 12 years and 125k miles.

Tend to regularly clear out the scuttle drains Albitz, and in fact never found water around the area.

Well done Lizzie, glad you got it sorted, hope the arms soon heal.

So do I. along with the hands and legs!  Savlon and Moisturiser is being applied very liberally

Nice to see you back Lizzie

Not connected to scuttle drains.The water leaks at the scuttle join,about two thirds of the way across the scuttle towards the nearside.Then runs down into the rear of the engine compartment,attacking the dispack or the rearmost part of the coil pack on DBW engines. Solution is to seal the join with silicon sealant.
