It turned out the drain in the scuttle (where the pollen filter lives) was blocked, it was blocked with glass and crap.. I think the nice man from RAC windscreens must have smashed my old screen to shit when it was replaced, there was about 8" of water in the scuttle:

Do you find steering straight but heading towards a tree to your left fun?
Aquaplaining is dangerous and brownpanting at the best of times. I just slow down and sink in the bigger puddles
