    Ok, I know on my D2 where 2 of the drains are, are there only 2 or should I be looking for more. I have located the one that drops onto the DC & the one that drips onto the left rear mud flap.

    You need to locate the one on the other side of the gearbox.

    Haven't heard of "the one that drips onto the left rear mud flap" before. Where is it draining from?

    It was a bit of a puzzling experience yes
    And yes, I have the rear air con so I'll now be looking for the one on the opposite side of the gearbox. Cheers guys, much appreciated

    Do I really need nipples?

    I've always wondered...

    I have extended my hose over the switch but am currently flying nipple-less.

    Plus with the extension hose there is a lot of time before clog-up even in dusty conditions (or am I wrong?)

    I have just successfully extended my air conditioner drains using the 13mm irrigation parts trick. Both XYZ switch and front drive shaft were wet.

    While working up near the XYZ switch I noticed the nut wasn't holding the lever on. It was on just a couple of threads (cross threaded?) and with a large gap to the lever. The Auto was overhauled by the previous owner a few months ago and was probably missed when put together.

    Glad I found it in the driveway and not on a dirt road KM from anywhere.

    My wife bought a 2004 D2 with 30,000 on it, very good condition and low Ks. Less than 2,000 kmx latter the front drive shaft failed, thrashed about and dinted the side of the gearbox.
    The local Rover specialists said the failure was caused by the aircon drain and that it was a known problem.
