Have you got Air Con???

If not theres an area were the Air Con evaporator drain pipe would go low down in the bulkhead, twards the rear of the gearbox diff.. The sound deadeneing is cut out to pull away, but I connot remember if the metal is still in place behind it...

Otherwise its a very well constructed bulkhead and accessinto the cabin directly for extra wires is quite difficult..

Try an alternative cap before panicking! These do run at quite a pressure
so even something like the seal under the cap may be a bit unseated.

You'll have to remove the driver's wing and access is through the door
pillar into the main loom feed behind the dash just behind the fuse box
- yes, that awkward! Don't go anywhere remotely near the heater matrix
feeds as they'll break so much as look at them and then you'll be b****red...

my be worth looking at the power feeds running off the ignition switch?
