    Water in the passanger foot well

    Hi all,

    I have a 93 (update) disco and I found that the passenger foot well is very wet?

    Now the heater is already disconnected so its not a leaking heater core,

    Anyone know where the water is coming from?

    Also is it a smart idea to remove the black rubber underlay?

    There are some small rust spots under there but Ill be fixing those tomorrow.

    I had the same problem and I found that the windshield seal on the top left hand side corner was leaking from the outside and then water would drip inside of the A pillar. You could inspect the seal from the outside just by pouring water over, but it may need some more pressure (like it happens when you drive).
    I lifted the rubber seal on top of the windshield (left hand side), and squirted a bit of silicone in there, which stopped the problem. Thats only temporary fix as the top of the windshield body is actually rusted and there is a big gap for water to get in.

    Check near body mount brakets on firewall for cracks. This is a common problem with D1's as the body mount rubbers start to compress.

    Check the label on the vehicle - I think you are actually in a Defender......
