Thanks DiscoStu (and all!!). The water is coming in from the top of the A pillar as I got a good few drops when I moved the sun visor, also I took a pic & where the roof lining meets the window is wet. Pic of that and the footwell below. No.LA501-014 looks good for that.
Re delivery of Pizza, Domino's do a BOGOF on a Sunday so better to collect. Beside I like in the sticks so Pizza delivery scooter would get lost! Then Pizza would get cold.
TR Was set to "This is the wettest drought ever" mode. Even submarine mode should not have leaked. Thought it might have been the raised air intake leaking but remembered taht was on Mrs L's car!
