aircon condensed water on passenger footwell
Had big puddles of condensed water on footmats and soaked carpets underneath two times this week after a two hour ride on the motorway with aircon switched on at the right footwell (passenger side). The floor panels are already rusting. Anyone here who experienced the same? Brought her to the dealer this morning to get it fixed.

If you go underneath the Landy, you'll find an aircon drain pipe. It's a small rubber pipe that is squeezed together to stop anything go up inside. It's stuck itself closed. Give it a squeeze and get ready to be drenched as all the water comes out.

Can't rememeber the exact location, but it's around the gearbox area.

EDIT: Here's my post when I had the same - http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic6867.html Craig Rogers

Just picked her up at the dealer, you were perfectly right. The pipe was blocked with leaves. They improved the drain pipe like on the pic above, so there shouldn't be any problem in the future

Sorry to say, but I have been feeling around the top of the front side of the upper gearbox tunnel to try to locate this teat, but could not find it. (And yes, my SVX does have airco Laughing )

Just want to try to get to it to make sure it stays clean as don't want the same puddle of condense water some day. Any further directions where it exactly is located? Would be very helpful.
