    Unfortunately Didge just because a Tdci doesn't have vents doesn't mean it doesn't leak. Initially I had little water falls but it's been slowly improving and to the point where I thought it was finally fixed. Apparently the fuse box under the steering wheel has a rubber cover over so LR must have expected something. I guess water is a process of elimination and patience. Yes things shouldn't leak, but they just do.

    lambrover, I'll most likely go that road in the end, disable the EGR as well. I haven't decided if I'll upgrade the power side of the map.

    In the mean time, like all Landy tragics, I just pulled out the spare. Been quite good fun using Lucky as the daily driver. Now if you want to see leaks, actually more like flow, try this one in the rain.

    Yeah, that seal is one of the most stupid designs I've ever seen. They use the same foam all around the rear of the car below the windows and they've always used it and it always leaks. The clowns who perpetuate that idiotic design ought to be strung up

    I was speaking to an '09 puma owner where this windscreen frame to bulkhead foam seal leaked - he sikaflexed it up. Might do the same on mine, before there's issues...
