As you can see, there are ‘drain’ tubes at the bottom of the heater box (showing the near side in the photo), and I know that some Mog owners have fitted flexible rubber hose pieces to these drains to take any ingressed rainwater down & out of the engine bay.

BTW - I recently bought some matching nylon coated "GORETEX" type fabric and made up an extension for our storm cover, attached across the front section, which completely covers the bonnet louvres...... a couple of 4mm loops of black elastic fasten over the front indicator lamps & all is good now - as long as I remember to put the storm cover on 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️!

Also look inside above the gearbox tunnel there are 2 more drain points. Some are piped through the fire wall. Others just dump on the mats inside.
