Back to the top...any ideas please?

I know when I had this problem, I was amazed by how much water came out when I took off one of the orange drains. I suspect that there is probably still some debris still lying in the A/C tray, but I never thought of flushing it out at the time. When I refitted the orange drains, I cut about 2mm off the bottom of them to make that sort of cross-seal slightly bigger. My car sits out 24/7 and I've got big fir trees, and it's amazing how those needles work their way into the car.

I did the same on the seals.
But I now pay most attention to the big scuttle drain, testing and flushing regularly with hot water and detergent. No problems in ages (fingers crossed).

My personal opinion is that these (dirty) drains overflowing into the a/c condensate tray is the main cause of problems as any dirt can easily block those smaller drains.
In theory the a/c drains will only ever see totally pure water condensed from the a/c system. Reality is rather different.
