...the two tiny clear tubes that exit underneath the car just behind the nearside front wheel, that p*ss water all over the drive most times I park up? (Especially if I park pointing up hill.)

Mine has these two litte tubes near the charger pins although it doesn't have air con. No water ever appears to come out though, so this could explain why.

Clear pipes are usually for the washer system for the screen. Do they run along the inner wing?

They are definately washer type tubes, but I suspect they are aircon related. They disappear up into the car and I can't see where. Can only see the exiting couple of inches.

It seems I get water after parking up after I have had the aircon running.

I seem to remember some thread about TVR aircon frezzing up if set to high, to the detriment of performance in the cabin. I've been unable to find the thread, but I wonder if this is happening to me, hence all the water comes out as it heats up when parked. Aircon performance is not impressive. Nobody else seems to have noticed a problem on their's.

PS what is the knob on the left side of the pod? The manual says the one on the righ side adjusts the intermitent wipe, but does not mention the left.

Maf, is it a little black plastic knob with a white dot? You can adjust the brightness of the pod display with one of those.
