[Sir Tigger KC]

Hi All,

Are there different scuttles depending on the age of the car or is it a case of one scuttle fits all?  :-/

Many Thanks 

[Jimbob]

later ones have a home for facelift washer jets (which are bonnet mounted by default on prefacelift)

they also have a great big sponge on the underside to direct water onto the ignition system 

(I don't remember my pre-facelift having that 'feature' )

Many Thanks, and yes I know that sponge 'feature' so well!!

mine aren't  The original scuttle already had blanked off holes in it.

I thought this was a special Elite feature to keep the coil pack clean and sparkly

The brilliant sponge feature  I have (hopefully) sealed the joint up with silicone and a couple strips of denso tape underneath on my one, before I did it I wanted to see how bad the leak was and poured some water down the windscreen expecting a slow drip but it just streamed straight through straight onto the coil pack, I am changing the passenger side coil pack tomorrow and fitting new plugs all round so touch wood its all sealed.
