Thanks. I managed to find a similar fred earlier and have been out to check on the highlighted areas on my own car and the only area that could be letting in water is the lower trim on the windscreen, so I'll get some new Sikaflex and see if I can't seal it back down. :)
 
This deflector thingy - do we know when it was fitted as standard? I'll have a look and see if Albrit show it, along with a VIN....
The problem in as stated above water, passing into the plenum and depending on conditions water may travel into the heater duct entrance, the duct does rise up slightly but if water gets in it’s all down hill then, there’s opening from the plenum each side through the inner wings but still some water can remain laying in the base of the plenum.

I expect it’s an issue based on certain conditions the amount of water angle of vehicle maybe, based on my 21years with a D1 or the 10 years with RR what ever heat duct that it was fitted with, but h iirc was above the bonnet maybe that was a better location.
 
LJ 081991 what is that? a VIN identification.
I dont know what they mean with the numbers but LJ is model type (4th & 5th Characters) in the VIN for "Discovery" while for "Discovery Series 2" is LT and if you know well how TSBs are it's clearely visible from it's number 76/37/94/EN that it was issued in 1994 so it implies Discoveries built untill '94 i suppose.
When you said about "Recall" i misunderstood that you meant it's a "Recall bulletin"(cos those are not TSBs)... sorry
 
During my afternoon off work I took a quick look around the front windscreen area and found two possible issues. At the top corners of the windscreen, there is a mahoosive hole at the front of the gutter, which to me doesn't seem right.

Those holes are intentional so that water coming off the front of the gutters does not flood across the screen but goes down inside the A pillars to exit through the (hopefully not blocked) drain holes.

I blocked those holes in the top with silicone before I realised this and water does run down the screen more than it did before but have left the sealant in place....

Maybe it's just me, but I think I'd prefer to see where the water is going, rather than it dissappearing in to a hole, which as you say, should allow it to drain out somewhere else as long as the route is clear. :)
 
This is the hole in the front gutter on my D2.
I'm not sure if this is the same hole as other people have got in theirs.
