Common issue on early Ford transit models from 2000 - 2008. If this is fixed early on it will save the glow plugs and diesel injectors from rusting, see video below for more info.

Can help please I’m after obtaining one of the water drip tray that covers the air box, injectors I viewed on line video, it’s for a 21 plate motorhome transit

Would you be able to make a video or describe the method to remove the channel?

[@AutoBuddynz]

I'll see what I can do.

Unbelievably bad design by Ford! As well as running silicone sealant along the top edge of the metal drain channel, make sure the cabin fresh air intake mouth is well sealed into the back of the channel. On mine water was running into the channel, then out again around the plastic air intake, down the back of the water channel and dripping onto the engine. While I had it apart I also sprayed a load of Waxoyl on the scuttle below the windscreen to help stop it rusting. The sponge strip along the front edge of the channel is also useless. On mine water was getting behind it and dripping down on the engine and air intake (soaking the air filter). More silicone sealant liberally applied all round to fix this incredibly shoddy design.

Yeap, exactly! Good idea on coating with Waxoyl.
