Well, it wasn't raining.
Stripped the interior for de-moistening and cleared the pair of evaporator drains on the tranny tunnel. Mucho water came out. These looked OK but plainly were not. Anyway I was able to blow through them with a bit of hose attached so they ought to be ok now. They were definately blocked before. Also cleared both engine compartment drains. These were also clogged but I poked wire up from the arch. Their entry points are cunningly hidden. No luck with the cowl drain though. After ages of farting about, the best result was a fastish drip from both sides of the drain. This later slowed to a slow drip. I shoved every thing (ok, almost everything) that I could wedge in, in and wiggled it about but no real result. The thing will be choked with these damn holly berries. Any other ideas?

Success!
Copper pipe fixed to garden ose. You need to keep the downward pointing part of your copper pipe short. No more than half inch (as Conan mentioned!  ) or it wont fit in. (ooh err missus)Also bend the copper so you can tell when your downpointing end is pointing down. Get it under and wriggle it about. Sudden whoosh and all the water emptied under the car in about one second! Brilliant!!
