Hi again chaps,

Thank you so much for your help. As a result of the information you gave me we have almost solved the puzzle of the missing drain holes. I've just been over to visit Delores at 'Janet's' house and found:

It looks like the the drain holes have been filled over:



... but the good news is that the welded on tubes (and even the plastic pipes) are still in place:



This is good news. I didn't have time to investigate further today, but 'Janet' will try a bradawl or some wire from the bottom to see if the holes can be located on the top surface - it should be possible to push out the filler and re-fit the pipes so the problem is fixed. In extremis I may need to drill the holes out again if they have been welded over.

Many thanks chaps - we are almost there.

Alan
