Hi Guys got a slight problem with my 2010 L322 Rangie which has developed a leak from the front o/s sunroof drain as its blocked and if its parked wrong ends up soaking the drivers carpet and footwell.. I've found the pipe behind the dash near the bonnet release and today I've cut it in half, blown up happy days blown down solid.. I've tried some flex rods and strimmer cable and got it down about 14" but that's it .. I've looked underneath were apparently the outlet is on the outerside of the air tank but nothing any advise would be appreciated.. do I need to drop the tank ? Also is the felt seal around the sunroof changeable ? All looks good and relatively flush but just to make sure .. thanks G
 
A Cat 5 network cable shoved down there works well enough you have to give the crap in there a hefty prod to get it moving..

Generally tree stuff that has found its way in there usually turns into a horrible dense crap..

The sunroof seal from what i can gather seldom fails, if it does/has however you'll note moisture on your headlining aswell as water on the inside of the glass of your sunroof..

this'll drop water onto your centre console and maybe your seat.. :oops:
 
Thanks guys ..I'm cautious giving it too much of a prod incase it bends towards the end ..any ideas ? but then if I'm getting it around 14" down anything after that will be around the chassis so it can leak out all it wants I suppose just cautious on piercing the rubber
 
Ok so after being told by LR specialist there was a join just below the dash ..there isnt, so I made my own !!! Just by above the bonnet release inside the pillar frame I discovered the drain tube, I cut in half and blew up the pipe all fine, blew down solid, after using numerous rods in attempt to clear away the blockage nothing...soaked with WD40 in order to soften still no good.. I used a 1.0mm soldering rod around 3ft long today and bingo finally managed to get it through after loads of attempts. Once o was happy it was draining I used a 3/8 Male -male inline ferral around 2" long to connect the pipes and jubilee clipped to ensure its sealed, poured water in the previously blocked sunroof drain .. happy days ..hopefully no more water getting under the floor and soaking the electrics. Now I've had this problem I'm defo going to check them all at least once a year !!
