Also regularly clean the three pairs of drainage holes in the scuttle. They are too small and are easily clogged. I poke a flexible cable tie down them every week and that does the job.

J. What would you call the scuttle please?



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

The scuttle is the bit between the back of the bonnet and the windscreen. Where the wiper spindles are mounted on most cars including the Freelander!

Ahhhh, I used technical term for same area.... gap at top of bonnet .....

The drainage holes are located on the extreme right, next to the wiper spindle on a RHD car and extreme left and in the centre by the other wiper spindle.
