Thanks for posting this Simmo et al, as it has helped resolve one of the issues I have with my new (to me) megane.
As a help to those who are unsure and pondering spending £120 for Renault to do this, here are some pictures of how I just did this (the same way as above) and how easy it is.
The tools I used were ;
As I make things from uninsulated
copper wire, this was what I used, but you could easily use a wire coat hanger as it seemed that only about 8inch's was required in my case (not suggesting everyone is the same though!).
A
Torch to see through the mesh cover and locate the drain.
Some Warm/Hot water to add in first to ensure I could see an ejection (as it hasn't rained in the last hour or three!) and to pour in after to clear it further.
After some poking around, I found the drain, it is located directly below the where the copper wire is going in below (the second arrow is to show anothe tube which feeds into this drain, this makes locating it a little easier IMO) about 3/4 of the way to the right of the mesh (towards the passengers door side);
It only took a few pokes to clear this (I think the pressure of the water that I poured in first helped here also), and then there was an immediate gush to the floor.
This last picture is not as clear, but you can make out that outlined above, that the pipe feeds into this drain (and see, thanks to the torch, that it is now clear);
I found it best to rest the bonnet on my shoulder, as in it's stand it was not high enough to get a decent view of things.
I hope someone else finds this of use.

I've noticed that after a night of rain, by morning as I turn a corner I can hear water rushing from one side of the car to the other. It sounds to be coming from somewhere near the bulk head. Whilst driving the noise does seem to go as if its finding a place to run while I'm turning a corner, which is hopefully out of the car!
