I have a P38 Diesel with a wet footwell on drivers side, appears to be coolant.

Other threads suggest O rings and/or heater matrix (gulp).

I haven't seen any discussion on whether Radweld/K-Seal etc would be worth a try to bung it up, what do you think?

Also, has anyone got an idea what a (reasonable) garage would charge if it was just the o rings?

This is my first post, so hope you can help.

Radweld!!!!!!!!.......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Buy the Orings, only a few pence.

then replace them.
Don't do the full dash out job, there are shortcuts, best google it you will see how it's done

Just a thought, had the same problem with my Disco. Traced it back to the condensate drains being blocked from the air con. Not sure if the RR is the same, but have a look underneath, there are two rubber drains above the back of the gearbox, or at least that's where they are on the Disco, dont see why the RR should be too much different, maybe do a search for air con drains.

Hope this helps.

Except he's already said it looks like coolant in his footwell.

Have a look at www.rangerovers.net, they do a run through on changing the "O" rings. Other sources of a wet footwell are aircon drains blocked and pollen filter covers leaking.

Thank you all for your helpful comments, I think I'll see what the local mechanic quotes me to do a proper job and leave the radweld alone. Hopefully he can use the shortcut techniques described to keep the cost down.
