water in footwell
Has anybody had a problem with water leaking into the passenger side front footwell. I have noticed that the carpet is soaking wet and wanted to know if anyone has had the same problem.

Do a search for +sunroof +leak & you should find easy solutions to the problem. If you're in warranty, just take it to your dealer to fix Bodsys Brake Bible
Just had my sunroof drains unblocked after the same problem. The stealers cleared it and made a modification to prevent it happening again, so it's well known. Funny the stealers didn't do that the first time I took it in though, they just changed the door seals.

Sunroof or aircon drains are the usual suspects 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Re: water in footwell
Do you know where the sunroof drains exit the cabin, are they the same place as on the TD5.

Any idea where the air con drains are as the water has been in the foot well for a few days and it had not been raining I think the air con drains are the best bet.

Pull the carpet down towards the heater in the corner there you will found a rubber hose that has become detached, it's a push fit back on...

I thought I read somewhere on here that they can cut the drain hoses a bit higher up so they don't block so easy or get restricted by acoustic insulation. Or maybe I dreamt that Previously:

The problem is, I know how to access them in the headlining to clear them through, but I dont know where the bottom ends of the pipes are.
I had the same problem as you - took off the wheel arch liners but couldn't find the hose ends, then read your excellent post about blowing through and did that instead. Probably just as easy to check the drains by pouring some water down a couple of times a year, rather than mess around trying to shorten the drains.Previously:
