Hi all. I've just been doing a bit of pre-winter maintenance on my D4. I too noticed water under the plastic cover where the wiper mechanism lives. I refer to this area as the scuttle but is it sometimes referred to as the plenum? Anyway I removed the wiper arms and the plastic panel and found some water in there but not a great amount. I found two grommets, one each end of the area which were obviously drains and poked them with a flexi wire. Both released some water which came out from behind the wheel arches. The water level has dropped significantly but there is still a small amount left. Looking at the diagram kindly posted by Steamship it seems there are 5 (?) drain grommets for the D4 but I could only locate these 2. Rain stopped play at this point so I'll return to this on a better day. Have I read the diagram correctly and there are indeed 5 drains? Thanks in advance.
