Now that last one is really useful. I managed to quickly find a diagram which shows the cowl drains (#26) that have been giving me such problems:

This confirms some interesting details, not least that the holes through the body shell appear smaller than the actual drain pipes. Also that the pan where the water collects is pretty shallow so how the big holes (presumably connecting to the HVAC etc.) are sealed is critical.
