Have put wd40 but it hasn't helped.

First you need to wire brush then to get the worst off, then get a fine pointed pick & scrape out the rust on the inside points of the screw, when trying to remove tap the socket into the head with a small hammer before trying to remove. You should get them out no problem.

9 out with 2 proving stubborn. Definitely helped using the halfords advanced t25 bit! I'll try your suggestion on the final 2.
Cant wait to see what lies beneath the cover...

Can't move those final 2 screws but could open the cover enough to see there's water in there.
