Thread: Water Leak - RRS

Same as my car -parked outside in the rain and no issues.

So the dealer reckons the probes was a blocked air conditioner drain, which has now been unblocked. I guess I will know whether it was this (or not) once we have some soggy weather again.

Oh goodie. Looks like we all have different leaks. Just more to look forward to I guess.

If it took Land Rover 70 years to find a way to stop headlining falling down, how long will it take to stop water leaks.

I've got a tip for them: Don't drill ****ing holes in the A pillars!

What makes you think they have sorted this out?

It has been raining for the past few days, I think Canberra has has had in excess of 45 mils in two days - and the leak has returned. Again, only from driving; although the conditions were very wet and the wipers were on full pelt. The padding behind the panel located under the glove box was saturated after a 35 minute drive to work. Completely dry before I set off.

Car spent the whole day at the dealership yesterday and they tried all sorts of theories but could not get it to leak. Finally, they narrowed the water ingress to the windscreen - which baffled them as leaks here are not common it seems. It turns out that the bloke who traded the car had his windscreen replaced only days before he handed over the vehicle. He had unfortunately chipped the windscreen badly. So it looks like we (dealership and me) will be contacting the windscreen outlet on Monday. I will keep you all posted.

I have to say the dealership here in Canberra has been fantastic. I have had a courtesy car for the two times it has been looked at and the attention the vehicle has got has been excellent. Although they are not really my thing they gave me a new Evoque, which was bloody nice (four-door the first time and two-door the second). Good thing my wife wasn't with me!! Made me appreciate the height and drive of the D3 even more though.

Sorry to hear that.

But didn't the dealer already fix it as supposedly the a.c was leaking - more likely they didn't have a clue and just went for the obvious and I guess charged you accordingly.

I don't normally go near dealers unless really forced to - they really have no idea on most things and repair by replacement until things are fixed and charge for all the unnecessary work done.

Perhaps. But they didn't charge me cent (both times). Nor should they as I had only bought it from them two weeks ago.

I did say that they thought they had fixed it. I was a bit dubious as it wasn't raining when they said this so I/they had no means to check that their fix was right, at the time. With the recent wet weather we know it wasn't right.
