Leaking D3

Don't know if this is in the right place or not but i have a problem (not the one my wife say's i have haha)

Went to take the Kids to school this morning (we were running late) got in started the engine and a load of water (as it had been rainning all night) poured down my leg so when i got home i checked the carpet and it was socking and there was a water trail up the side of the dash to the A piller trim.

So before i start ring round and moaning to the relivent dealer or i start taking the motor to peace's, does any of you wise men either had the problem or know the fix.

Glad in a way it has happened as i was going to clean the motor anyway

2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 XS Manual Zermatt Silver

If you a search of this site you will find numerous threads regarding water ingress. The three main culprits seem to be:

Blocked sunroof drain.
Aircon pipe.
Badly replaced winscreen.

Somewhere on here you will find instructions on how to unblock sunroof drains and the aircon tube. If you have had the windscreen replaced - it may need to be done again. Too much intellectual firepower can damage your common sense.

Went though the threads and found the leaking sunroof and coppied what they did, it was spot on. I had a driver's side drain tube blocked, all working now. Thanks to that thread and James R for pointing me in the right direction. Life is full of up's and down's but they are more fun when your in your Disco 3

Just for future reference, and not wanting to take any credit

Here is a link to the original thread, which is a sticky thread in Tips n Tricks
