Afternoon Bongonauts!
Hope all is well. Just thought i would share a solution to stop water getting on the the fuses!
A roasting bag no less, suitably clamped ! Impervious to heat and wet stuff!

If you have been getting water there then I would suggest that you check the drain pipe on the windscreen gulley isn't blocked, the other bit of concern is that when it overflows from the gulley it falls over the control module for the fan speed and then ends up in the bottom of the fan casing as on this link http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/air_fan_cleaning/

Hadn't thought about the heat resistant qualities of a roasting bag. =D>

Thanks Geoff for the info, I religiously clear the overflow tube when I wash Bernie, but it only seems to take a bit of dirt/leaf to block again. I picked up this tip from a mechanic friend who used oven bags to protect the main wiring plugs into the ECU.
Really informative link , thank-you.
