    Heya mate

    I had the same problem with mine with water coming in on the drivers side did exactly what you have done with the blotting paper what i found was that when the scuttle panel filled up with water it was pooring in threw the choke cable gromit use sealant around that BUT then i found a short period after that i was also getting water coming in threw the bonnet cable so again out with the sealant hope any of this helps mate.
