Hi lads,I'm a bit confused about this one,after parking up today i noticed water under the Hippo,when i investigated it was coming from what looks like a rubber drain pipe that comes from the bulkhead,after about 5mins it stopped,has anyone else had this. Temp was normal

Thanks

Don't forget that on most Freelanders the aircon works automatically on demist so you get the aircon draining even in cold weather.

Does the drain pipe have a pinched end to it -I've been crawling about underneath tonight after noticing quite a substantial drip of water when I got home from work

most do

Taste the water, if it doesn't taste of antifreeze or screenwash then it's most likely the aircon condensate.

Yes that's what I did. It stopped dripping after about 5 minutes but it was going some at first

nickcc · May 24, 2012

Thought you only got legionaries from water that's been stored, hope so anyway

Mine's been doing the same, thought I had an oil leak on my new tarmac drive

I was presuming it was aircon condensate and not washer fluid. I wonder what the risk is if someone uses badly adjusted jets whilst you're driving behind them with your sunroof open

The more humidity in the air the more drainwater you'll find. As these last days it's almost tropical weather it means a lot of drained water.

Yupp really common to notice it in this kind of weather. If it just appears to be pure water it'll be your AC

Thanks chaps - My first visit to Landyzone has put my mind at rest

Chris D · May 25, 2012

Just parked mine up on drive and noticed it dripping away. I've checked and thankfully its the drain pipe from the bulkhead. Thank goodness for the search button.
