As the title says, the Rangy keeps leaking water from the corners of the left footwell onto my feet (LHD). It especially likes to pour water as we accelerate and turn, so that our shoes get soaking wet. We changed the two pollen filters and put silicone on the lid, cleaned out the water from the blower motor pipe but leak continues. This started happening after we fixed the A/C and filled it with gas. Seems that the water is coming from the center of the car instead of the blower or the pollen filters. Picture of the left airduct attached.

+1 to aircon drains blocked. Outlets are either side of the bell housing, squeezing the closed lips will give you an arm full of water. The other possibility is that the upper and lower sections of the drain pipes are not connected.

More likely blocked. If the little corrugated pipes were disconnected it would drain on the carpet instead of out the duct !!

Sometimes the aircon drains pop off. You can see them just under the centre console either side of the transmission tunnel.

I’ve got one you can have. Immaculate condition, (nearly), one careful owner, had lots of maintenance, EAS in occasional working order….

I was taking some liberties with my description, but no, the p38 is part of the family, like a mistress that my wife now accepts even if she isn’t happy about it! I thought you’d see the funny side of “immaculate condition’ and EAS in occasional working order, but really that’s true of most p38’s from what i know! Having said that, I had an early 4.6 petrol that never had an issue with it. Had issues with everything else mind!
