Small puddles?
You didn't get much rain then did you pretty standard feature
If you are interested there is a water ingress manual online if you google it you should find it.

You are right, there is one. I suppose LR service will be using this.

Sounds like a common issue.

Don't expect it to be fixed.

Seriously.

A body engineer from Land Rover goes on an exchange visit to Toyota in Japan and watches the engineers developing the latest Land Cruiser bodyshell. He notices that on the workbench they have a cat in a small cage and he asks what it's for. The Japanese engineer tells him when they have finished a Land Cruiser they lock a cat in it and go home. If the cat is dead when they return in the morning they know the shutlines on the doors are up to their high standards. The LR guy likes this idea and when he gets back to Solihull he takes a cat to work and locks it in a Defender and goes home for the night. When he returns in the morning the cat is gone.

Nice joke ha ha

No joke, they won't do anything, there is nothing they can do. They're almost designed to leak...

Honestly guys I don't know why LR Dealers don't supply a water ingress manual when you buy a Defender

How on earth a car like that is supposed to go through creeks, I may as well take my xtrail which is fully sealed.
