I seem to recall this being raised previously, but I am a lazy arse....

When I popped into my dealer the other day to get my e-tag out of my petrol drowned diesel, I noticed a puddle of water on the passengers side mat.....we had some heavy rain the day before. I put my hand up behind the glovebox and I tapped a plastic part that seemed to be the source

Any ideas.....sunroof drains? RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

There's an aircon pipe that runs up the inside of the console, this has been reported to come loose before now and turn the footwell into a swimming pool. That's simply a case of reconnecting it, if that's what the problem is with yours

hmmm, thanks Schmoogle, but not sure it is the a/c. The car had not been driven for a few days (it can't be after my wife filled it with petrol ), so not sure why it would be the aircon drains? I have never seen it before even with aircon running all day......also, it coincided with the first decent hard rain we have had for ages.

I did do a bit of searching on previous threads and there is something about leak A pillars where trim fit holes leak. RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Sure, L5... it was just a thought

There have been a few leaks similar to this reported over on the Disco3 forums recently and it turned out to be the sunroof drains. IIRC there is a TSB out from LR about them for Discos 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

This is the old bulletin...

This is a NAS bulletin on water ingress (it also refers to the bulletin posted by Bobby among the possible remedies, although in North America that TSB has a slightly different number than in ROW.) It makes our cars sound like a bunch of leaky buckets!

Thanks Umberto , the fourth one down sounds like mine to a T! Have passed onto to dealer. RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Hi There Lateral5

Had a similar problem and thought I hadn't been using the aircon but that's what it turned out to be. Suggest you try that first. Fixed by dealer and no trouble since SDV6 (14.5) Corris Grey NZ Spec + door mouldings, mud flaps and tow bar
Also Audi A1 Sport + - (wife's rocket) and 1985 BMW 628 CSI

There are a couple of things which could cause this problem.

As everyone has already said the sunroof drain tubes could be blocked or mis routed.

Or it could be a leaking plenum seal. The plenum is the black plastic trim that runs across the bottom of the windscreen. A quick way to check this is to gently press on the black trim and look for movement or a gap to the screen which would let water through to the seal area.

From your description I think you can discount a leaking door seal or A post, these would normally show themselves via a wet carpet.

Good luck, I hope your dealer sorts the issue ok.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.
