Last night i saw a small puddle of water under my discovery, it seems to be dropping from around the gearbox. i had a good look at it, smelled it, tasted it. Its just clear water as far as i can see.
I put a tray under it and this morning it seemed to slow down if not stop. There was very little to begin with but still a worry. It was a dry day and i only used the windscreen washer a little. So i was stumped.
I looked in the manual and under the air conditioning section it says the dehumidifying process produces water which is expelled now and then through drain tubes underneath. I hope thats all it is.
Anyone any thoughts?

My leak is not from the underside of the car, it's on the inside!

I've just got it back from the dealers after them trying to sort out all manner of electrical problems (bluetooth, voice recognition, suspension fault warnings, coolant level warnings, etc.!!!) and it turns out that the drain pipe from the right side of the sunroof was kinked, causing it to fill up then over-flow and drip out from the interior light casing all over the center console!

Added to that, the drain pipe on the left side of the sunroof was (and sill is) either completely blocked / split / whatever, or doesn't come out underneath the car where it should do, hence the carpets in the passenger footwell being sodden wet! With rubber floor mats you don't notice these things until they may be too late!

This is probably the main cause of all the eleccy problems I've been having, due to a large wireing loom that goes down under the passengers door opening. Chap at garage reckons he may have to replace the loom, as there are connectors which may have become corroded!

Also, the coolant level detector in the over-flow seems to be playing up (he says they've replaced at least 3 of these recently)

Oh well, they are going to get it all sorted (eventually) - still really happy with the car though!!!

hi hasgaroth

have they sorted you phone and voice control as mine has been into my dealer 5 times now still not fixed it. like you i purchased from some where else but my local dealer has bent over back wards to help but just cannot sort the problem out. they are having it again next week for 2 DAYS MINIMUM but are still very unsure. they are saying they are thinking of trying to get some chaps from land rover factory to come and have a look. i am starting to loose faith in them but its hard as they are trying so hard (i think) cheers shawn

Hi Shawn,
Not fixed yet, will have to let them have it for 3 days while they dry out the inside of the footwell and check none of wiring completely dead. They gonna sort the sunroof drain out first, dry out the car, then inspect all the wires for corrosion, fixing any that need doing. Hopefully, if all goes well, it <should> sort out all the electrical problems I've been having! Two lots of bluetooth modules, an air compressor and computer, etc.! (not to mention the lovely internal shower every time if really pi es it down!

Do you have the sunroof? If so, get them to check the drain tubes right and left! If not, get them to check for other water ingress near the passenger footwell where those electronics are situated.

I will post the outcome when it happens! Just waiting for them to sort out the replacement parts and arrange me a replacement disco for the duration - the freelander they gave me before really struggles to fit 5 kids plus 2 adults!

Green laneing tomorrow , gonna get really muddy and <stuff> - hope I don't scratch it - my lovely lady wont be too pleased if I do!
