Door seal near the mirror is my first thought as it seems to accumulate from that side of the foot well. If it is the windscreen seal its running down from the very outer edge. 110 2.4TDCi

Found it! It's amazing how easy it is to find a water leak when its raining about 2" in 10 minutes. Was sitting in the car waiting out the worst of it and found it's coming through the rather loosened top door seal. 110 2.4TDCi

Mine leaks in the rear footwell, someone can't drill holes at the factory and it gets in through the oval hole!

Maybe with the cash us Taxpayers are giving LR they could teach their employees a few skills.

dm,do you mean poor fitting door seal ?,I was told awhile back that a door seal from a series LR is a better fit, or you could try packing the seal were it fits to body with bluetack or bodycorking. 2.4 90 XS

Both mine leaked.
back to dealer changed both.
on inspection they have put silicon on them to hold
both them in seems to work no more leaks.
but for how long, who knows. Whistle NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

Some things never change. Is nice to see that almost all of us had a water ingress problems in one or another part of ourPumas.

I had some water ingress in the passenger side and has been repaired at the end of the winter (rainy season here). So I will see in May-June if really works.

Cheers Eduardo

Yes the door seal is poor fitting (loose) across the top of the door. It's a press fit, so I'm going to first try squeezing the seal's sides together and see if that fixes it. If not I'll talk to the dealer and see what they recommend (maybe sikaflex it on). Can't get to a dealer (nearest is 1100km) at present as the track out of town will be impassable for the next few months. 110 2.4TDCi
