Water In Passenger Footwell
« on: 09 October 2010, 09:22:13 »

I have water getting in to my passenger footwell. I'm guessing this is down to a blocked drain hole under the scuttle but not sure where it is. I've had a quick look and can see one grommet where cables go through and what looks like another grommit behind it. Is this the one I need to clean?

there's a guide somewhere, but the drain is right at the bottom of where the pollen filter lives. It's a tight squeeze but it is possible to just about get your arm in and clear the sh1te from the bottom.  :y

Do you have excessive windscreen misting up problems? This is also caused by blocked drain,although in your case it must be draining into the footwell.

As said, probably the drain in the scuttle under the pollen filter thats blocked.  Plus, filter itself may well be soaked and needs replacing after the drain is cleared.

Front drain down tubes in the A post and then into the sill.
Rears drain through tubes in the back of the boot floor, you can see the tubes right at the back of the spare wheel well and at the front of where the first aid kit would live.  :y

its a common thing on landrovers,

find the end of the pipe and blow back up it,

its usually leaf debris.
