Default Leak in roof of 2000 Disco

Please can anyone help me? I have a leak in the front part of the roof of my 2000 Disco TDi
Two different mechanics have tried to find the source of the leak, but no luck.

It is a steady dripping rather than a torrent, but I am really worried and want to fix it.

The water seems to congregate in or above the plastic roof-pocket (map pocket?) which is above the sun-visor on the passenger side. Depending on how heavy the rain is (this is England!!!), I can see the leak spreading along the edge of roof lining and then it
drips out of the courtesy light (just above the mirror).

I have roof-bars and a sunroof and these have had new sealant applied in a bid to cure it.

A third mechanic has suggested that there may be a blocked drain - he thinks a drain runs from the sun roof area internally and
comes out somewhere at the rear of the vehicle. He isn't a Land Rover specialist and he didn't want to tackle it himself.

Does anyone know about this drain and how to unblock it ? Or does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!!!

the drain idea may be correct...are you sure that it isnt the windshield and its making its way to where it is dripping?
