Hi
Can anyone help??? i have a 2002 TD5 discovery and the drivers side floor is getting soaked every time it rains, cant find any signs of water running down from above, the wettest area is definitely around the A pillar but it ends up soaking the entire drivers side, as i understand it the sunroof drain goes down the passenger side? i cant see a drain from the sunroof on the drivers side.
has anyone had problems with the door rubbers?
HELP !!!!!!!

Its either the windscreen top corner is leaking or sunroof drain tube blocked/kinked/come off.

Drain tubes are on all 4 corners of the sunroof, if you cant feel a tube on the drivers side then its come off. Take off the A post trim (pull it), pull down the headlining a bit and have a look up there.

hi,
Most obvious point would be the sunroof or windscreen, but as i have mentioned in other threads i had water showing at the top of the piller. As mine has no sunroof i tracked it back to the alpine window, apparently its very common on 2003/04 td5. Give it the old hose pipe test apparently it runs down some kind of fold in the body down to the front piller.

Thank you all for your help, i have stripped out the trim panels on the drivers side and am still no wiser, think it must be from the screen, its time to get the hosepipe out and lay on the floor of the car till i get dripped on.
Something sounds very wrong about that!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!
Sorted at last, took advantage of my insurance companys offer of a new screen as mine cracked (god it hurt my knuckles) but all that did was prove it wasnt the screen!! It turns out the water was coming through the heating system drain offs on the o/s of the tunnel, took the funny pointy rubber bit off and loads of water came out, cleaned it and the floor is now drying out nicely!
