decided to check drainage hole under windscreen scuttle,

then rememberd,some one,saying there are two.(2).
(1)drivers side,(1)passenger side.checking passenger side,
only deep cavity?delving further,into this,I found (2)rubber grommets.(1)carrying the loom to who knows where,the other one,simply sealing the cavity.so that any water running into cavity had nowhere to go??anyway I half removed the grommit to allow any water,to drain away.
This of course after cleaning cavity out.should I replace
the grommit ??. my car is elite 98, 3.0 Ltr. :-? :-? :-?

IIRC this one should be similar to the one on the driver's side, both mine are.

if its like the one on my 2.6 v6 you need to remove the pollen filter from under passenger side of scuttle and look at the bottom left corner where pollen filter was you will see the drain looks similar to the one on the drivers side.
but you need to feed something through it to clear it.
possibly a length of electrical cable.
hope this helps.

Hi noel,yup took filter out,but what is confusing,is the fact that the drainage hole was blocked off with the grommit,
having partially removed grommit,poured water down into
cavity all drained away no problem,but should the grommit :-? go back??

The grommet [size=14]is[/size] the drain. 

isn't there a picture of it somewhere on the site?  :-/

Dear Andy,even to my limited intelligence,I agree with you,
BUT,I fit the drain grommit back properly how does the water
drain away.??

Can't remember exactly what it looks like, but IIRC it's not dis-similar to the driver's side drain http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1167524083

Andy, your ref,was bang on,what Idid,nt. do was to take grommet completely out,only looking via torchlight,therefore did not see the filter arrangement inside grommit,will now take further steps.(remove and clean).
 many thanks for replies.

IIRC there are two designs of grommet depending on age of car.

Andy,that is more good info,  I must admit that when I checked the drivers side it was straight thru,assumed  the
other one was the same,  not so/, and could not see how water could get away therfore my original ?..now will
 investigate further..
  Love this forum, cheers.
