AC water leak
My drivers footwell is wet, I noticed that the water was running out near the heater vent in the footwell.
Could this be the ac drain pipes blocked? If so how do I get to them?
I tried earlier to dry it out by running the car with the heater on full but after I left it for ten minutes I went to look and the water was flowing in from just below the vent on the tunnel.
Has anyone seen this before?

you remove the cover under the gearbox.
and at the sides of the gearbox, high up are the drains.
have a prod. If you get a face full of water, you have successfully unblocked them
Easier to do it from inside, remove the panel where the footwell light is, you can then see the drains for the AC simply pop it off the bottom of the unit and push something flexible through it before pouring some water down it to make sure it drains freelyRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

Just in case this helps, so you know what to look for
The photo is the passanger side drain with the trim panel removed.
The trim panel has two Philips screws along its length, under the hinge for the glove box, then a Jesus clip on the lower edge of the triangle section by the centre console; get a finger into it and push up to release the clip.
With those removed, you can displace the trim panel enough to undo the drain, but to remove the trim panel completely needs other trim panels removed, so I’d go for just displacing it unless you really really want to
