Looks like most things accessed by removing rear wheel arch liner, and / or tank cover (but this one too low to cause a leak in the cubby) .

Just looking at the rubber around the fuel filler cap and it looks perished wonder if it's when I filled up ? Could have dropped into the inside and on the fuse box ,anybody know if they are replaceable or how they come off ??

Unnecessary quote removed
you any ideas Joe what it could be going to strip the complete boot out tomorrow see if I can see anything

RAVE is pretty vague about removing the filler neck, unless I am not searching hard enough.

My guess is a bit of both, access from inside the cubby (but possibly a lot of kit will need to come out!), but also from below, after removing the wheelarch liner, my preference would be the latter, though. Not had this part of the car off, so can't say for certain. .

Thanks joe looks like a day of stripping and see if I can get it sorted seam to be spending more time mending it than driving at the moment

Just a quick update stripped the entire boot out to see if I could see any leaks from the fuel filler and I couldn't see a thing but took the fuse box out cleaned and dried it out and put back together but I did notice that the seal around the filler was cracked and the fuel cap isn't a good tight fit so ordered a new one from guy salmon Wakefield so pick it up tomorrow and try that,also unblocked both the sunroof drains at the back and front
