Freelander 1 Air/Con Fluid through Air vents

Good Evening All,

was just driving home from a walk with the dog, had a/c and the fan on 3 or 4 when it did an odd noise cling and it feels like fluid/water would come in through the air vents. I turned it down to one and it disappeared. First I thought it was the drinking cup which I had standing there as it fell over recently, but it comes through the vents, not in idle though. As it was hot, sticky skin and dark could neither feel nor see anything, just drops seem blowing in.

Anyone's came across something like that or has an idea what it could be? Will further check, couldn't see anything obvious leaking under the bonnet, but was only with a torch. Cooling liquid still seems overfilled even though had garage told to check. Will check tomorrow in daylight further.

Probably excess condensation, time to clear your heater drain

Thanks. Do you mean a piece like that , that I know what to look for? Just wondering when the a/c was renewed the a/c should have been flushed for warranty purposes if I remember it correctly. Should that be clean then or is that separated?

The flush will be the internal surface of the various components.
A/C fogging can occur when there's high moisture content in the air, often as a result of a blocked A/C condensate drain. You can see a similar phenomenon when you open a freezer door when the kitchen is hot and humid from cooking. Often fog can be seen on the boundary between the warm kitchen air, and cold freezer air. On occasion the same thing can happen inside the car heater assembly, but the only way out for the fog is with that air flowing out the vents.
The only thing to check is the A/C drain is dropping water under the vehicle. No dropping suggests the drain is blocked.

Thanks @Nodge68 last time I saw it when changing the bushes it dropped, so should be fine.

Thanks Andy, that one is hanging kind of above the ARB I think and drops, yes.
