Thread: Water Leak - RRS

If it is very humid (like raining) could be condensation on the A/C evaporator/condenser (always muddle up which way round they go).
If it is the drain pipe is blocked up.
Could be dust, mud, bugs, wasps or who knows.
I don't know where the pipe is on a RRS but that would be the first thing to look at, doesn't matter if the A/C is clean if the drain is blocked.

Is it the A-Pillar covers? I recall reading on Disco3 that the clips that hold those covers on frequently leak.

Thanks but as I indicated in my post the A/c is not blocked.

The A pillar leaks that sheerluck referred to were the subject of Technical Bulletin LA-501-006 issued 07.07.2005 for D3 models.

I know you are referring to your 07RRS but it may be worth asking your friendly LR dealer about it......

Do you have a sunroof?

If so check the drains.

I'm not sure about how similar the RRS is on the A-pillars compared to the D3, but there is an updated part number for the clips, which apparently seal better, part number DHB500400.

Thanks for the information on the pillars. No sunroof.

Given the small amount of water coming in the pillars are worth looking at - but would the water run down to the base of the pillar and then drip down - the leak I have is a good 9" further back in the cabin where the glove box lid hinges at the bottom.

But then the actual leak could be at the firewall and the water is running along fixtures to the rear of the dash and then dripping down.

Maybe I need to take the glove box lid off and put the car under a sprinkler and check to see what is going on.

Garry,

The exact same thing happened to my D3 only yesterday. A very, very small leak from under the glove box (like five drops in an hour or so) from the rain in Canberra. Dealer is going to have a look at it, and reckons it might be the condenser, but I have driven around all arvo with the ac on to see if it is the culprit and I can't get any leak. Weird. If I find anything out post trip to the dealer I will let you know.

Cheers

James
