I am sure this has been covered before.
But just to bring it back to life.
How many drain holes are in the scuttle chamber and their location.
I know there is one under the coolant reservoir bottle.
But where are the others.
Anyone know for sure.
Scuttle drain holes.
Re: Scuttle drain holes.
There is another one under the master cylinder area from memory. You'll probably need a small inspection mirror to see it
Items 5 and 10.

Re: Scuttle drain holes.
Thank you felix.
Item 5 and 10 appear to show a drain on each side of the car. Plus 1 drain under the coolant reservoir.
Will get the endoscope out and have a look round.

There’s nothing around the ECU housing. Ask me how I know.

Re: Scuttle drain holes.
Ha ha.
I think I read on here that there is one on each side of the car and one in the middle below the coolant reservoir bottle.
As I say I will have to have a better look.

Re: Scuttle drain holes.
You get a great quality picture in areas that otherwise would be inaccessible.
Saves lots of time stripping stuff down.
Will wait for it to charge up. It’s one of those tools that you only use now and again. The built in probe light is great for viewing in dark places.
Once battery is fully charged I will then be able to hunt for scuttle drain plugs.
From the drawings provided by felix. It does look like there are 3 drain points.
