   I know there is loads of threads on leak but just want to know
   
   Water is dripping from the passenger side dash just little dribbles (no flooded footwell). Taken out the interior light and the aerial base is dry.
   
   This is making me think its the sunroof, Would i be correct in saying this? Basically just trying to eliminate things so i can crack on with sorting it!

   Yup mate, check the sunroof drains, chances are they'll be blocked.

    If you look under the bonnet, in the top right hand corner under the fuel cut of switch, you'll see the drain there iirc. Just check if it's blocked mate.
