Just to confirm and save anyone else from the hassle that I had with the water ingress to my 406 HDI. It was indeed the rear driver side light cluster seal that was at fault. It'd been incorrectly refitted (I'm certain) following a bulb replacement during an MOT test at a well known chain of tyre and exhaust specialists! Discovered it by removing all boot cladding, hosing car down from roof towards the rear and peering into boot from back of car (rear seat backs folded forwards) using a torch. It was dripping into car from around the light cluster. What an appalling design fault that such a small displacement of the seal can result in such water ingress and all the subsequent consequences! Thanks for all the helpful tips and suggestions.
