And after all that... and spending days on it... it's leaking from somewhere in the rear wheel arch. There's a little aperture at the rear of it (I don't mean the ventilation panel, same as on Rovers) and the water pours through there - BUT ONLY WHEN THE CAR'S BEING DRIVEN ON A WET ROAD.
I discovered this by accident - my driveway's sloped, and I always reverse the car up it (so of course the water flowed towards the front). Then I parked it in heavy rain, and nothing came through... took it for a drive, everything soaked. Then, for some reason (divine intervention?) I parked it facing uphill, and got a puddle under the rear light cluster.
