Hi all, I was reading a few threads on the above so thought I'd take a look under the bonnet.low and behold while it was still raining I could see a river of water cascading over the back of the n/s headlight not so bad on the o/s. The problem I could see was the rubber moulding doesn't fit flush to the body as there's an edge trim on the steel bulkhead frame which splays the moulding at the lowest point by the drain plug, I have washed the drain plug through and it's clear as it empties in the wheel arch over your feet! I removed the moulding cleaned it up and sealed it with a bead of silicone on the n/s, the moulding on the o/s doesn't even sit snug at all so had to fill and clamp it into place hoping it will do the trick.

Just looked at mine. Seems to fit quite well but absolutely full of leaf debris. There is a member who 3D prints parts that “fix” the problems of having a cab designed for LHD roads. I will try to find his posts - I think he sells stuff on the forum.
 
Yeah I've read them but this seems to be a different problem, water also drips from the air intake onto the engine. Its a 2021 reg

PaulandChrissy are the members who produce the air intake drip tray and having just fitted one I can vouch that it is an excellent piece of kit that solves the air intake drips. (y)
