Having dried out the car after the last influx when I suspected the scuttle drain which was completely clear when I inspected it. I now have water again  in the passenger side. I suspect the windscreen or a perforated bulkhead maybe in the drain area.  Any ideas or suggestions.

Might be worth removing the kick board and you laying in there with a torch while somebody else fires a hose at the windscreen area. Might give you a fighting chance of seeing if it is the scuttle or screen rubber.  :-/

Is the kick board the padded area infront of the feet is it easy to get out?

Easy.

3 large finger tight twist clips (have a slot for a modest flat bladed screwdriver) and it will drop down, then a sharp tug to free it from the clips on the bulk head.

Under glove box above your feet. As already said, easy to remove with a flat blade screwdriver or even a small coin. Just turn them through 90 degrees.
If it's anything like mine, the Nokia handsfree kit falls in my face where I have stuffed it up there behind the board.

Be careful as you turn them ... they break very easily .. and if anyone has any lying around I still need a couple of replacements ..

Thanks for your help when it stops raining I will have a go I must admit that I thought that I might take the glove box out to help examination

Good idea. It opens up the 'viewing' area much more. 

Good luck.

If my windscreen is leaking I assume that cannot be claimed for replacement on insurance,only if is broken?

fire a stone at it lol,check the water is not coming from the door as well mate.job for me tomoz someone has been in at the passenger door and hasnt replaced the door foil,and the water is coming in its soaking the door pocket grrr.

I gave the car the hose pipe treatment today tried it on the door shuts right across the windscreen but no water in the car. Is it possible in a heavy downpour that the scuttle can overflow even when the  drain is clear I watched the outlet from the drain today and it appeared to flow OK.
