Tube drain upgrade?
Well while searching for the sunroof drain tube, ends, and joints on the tubes. I seemed that the barb end of the tube was stretched being that is had been on the barb for years.
Also noted there was a kink in the corner of the Drivers side tube at the D Pillar of the rear dr drivers side door frame, where the tubes go around the rear door and out the front of the rear fender well.
I flipped the tubes meaning just that, stretched barb ends got cut off since I was adding approx. 12cm of new tubing. Purchased the tube and clamos and fittings at local hardware shop.
Took the headliner out to do all this. Purchased new ends off Ebay for around $35 us.

Well...yes and no
I suppose it fixed th eleak however when checking the floor after a rain storm, 'i found water dripping from the heater duct. 'i had taken the cabin air filter out to check, and sure enough there was a leak there. whether it was the original not sure.
Once I have all the holes plugged in the SS Minnow,
i'll check back. doing rear half axles now.
All wires cobbled together, and taped off so things should work. 'i have a parasetic draw to track down.
Always something.2005 Land Rover D3, 4.4L V8, Maya Gold Metallic
