Having dried out the car after the last influx when I suspected the scuttle drain which was completely clear when I inspected it. I now have water again  in the passenger side. I suspect the windscreen or a perforated bulkhead maybe in the drain area.  Any ideas or suggestions.

Is the kick board the padded area infront of the feet is it easy to get out?

Under glove box above your feet. As already said, easy to remove with a flat blade screwdriver or even a small coin. Just turn them through 90 degrees.
If it's anything like mine, the Nokia handsfree kit falls in my face where I have stuffed it up there behind the board. 

Thanks for your help when it stops raining I will have a go I must admit that I thought that I might take the glove box out to help examination

You is a star .. we're going off for the weekend later today, back Sunday, but no plans for next weekend at all..... so from Thurs to Sun whenever ... let me know and what you think about meeting "half way"

If my windscreen is leaking I assume that cannot be claimed for replacement on insurance,only if is broken?

I gave the car the hose pipe treatment today tried it on the door shuts right across the windscreen but no water in the car. Is it possible in a heavy downpour that the scuttle can overflow even when the  drain is clear I watched the outlet from the drain today and it appeared to flow OK.
