Water leak after heavy rain in passenger footwell

[p-dawger]

Like the title says - 2010 LR4 first time it has leaked water. After a heavy rain water was pooled in my front passenger floor board...about a cup full. Everything was closed up tight (windows, sunroof).

Anyone hear of a TSB or any issues?

Nevermind - found it.

Got to love rovers, not only do they leak externally but stuff can get inside too

They should be sold with self sealing condoms for when you park them at night....

The LR3 guys have had a number of issues with this as well. You should find a lot of documentation in thier forum about it.

I think that was drainage tubes clogging, not sealant. That's structural.

I also had an issue with water in the passenger footwell although the cause was quite different. Seems there is a ventilation tube joint just behind the upholstery towards the center console that can come undone. Went to the dealer and the rep fixed it in 10 seconds on the spot. Perhaps your issue relates to the TSB but just wanted to pass along my experience with a similar symptom. Good luck!

I was referring to the issue they have seen with the cowl area, not the drain tubes.

Oh, sorry I didn't know of that issue. I haven't had any leaks yet thank goodness.

When you take it in for service do they not apply ALL current TSB's to the vehicle?
