Has anybody else had this problem?
I found a 1 inch deep puddle of water in the passenger footwell of my Freelander 2 this morning. The only likely source of the leak seems to be through the headlining behind the passenger grab handle. Anyone any ideas before I start pulling the car apart please.

A few posts on here mention the sunroof leaking, blocked drain holes etc. I think there was also an early recall to have a drain tube re located.

Welcome to the forum and hope you get it sorted

Thanks for the reply. I have taken a look, not sure whether to go for it myself or not. Service due in 3 weeks. Thats a lot of time for water to get in though.

Doesn't say the headlining is wet, just a likely source  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

i had the air con drain problem, think i posted how to access it etc if you want to search my posts

just found it [/url]http://www.freel2.com/forum/post112872.html#112872[url][/url] freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold

The headlining is getting wet behind the grab handle, that is how I identified it as a possible source. The air con suggestion is interesting but I feel unlikely as the problem is only occurring after a shower. Unless of course its a bit of both !!

Had exactly the same problem on mine (twice), wet around the passenger grab handle and an inch of water in the passenger foot well.
Definatly a blocked sun roof drain pipe. Could'nt see how to get access to it so left it up to the dealer at service time.
Would be interested to hear if anyone has found out the DIY fix!

Just been to the dealer - says it is the sunroof drain. He believes there was an update about 2 years ago - its only a clip around the tube to stop it popping off. They will be doing it in 2 weeks time at service. I have asked that as it was a 'known fault' that this should be done FOC. We shall see.

It was a recall not an update and therefore should have been done already. It should certainly be FOC.

The problem has been sorted. It was the sunroof drain tube coming detached on the passenger side. Re-fitted and secured with a cable tie. Dealer charged 30 mins labour only.

Had the same problem, however it had another reason (not sunroof drain and not the air con drain):
My Freelander 2 2007 i6 HSE was missing the screw where you can fix the roof rack. I took of the plastic covering and poured water into it to test whre the water went; it ran straight out of the A-post about midway, from there along the door frame into the footwell. I put a fitting screw with silicon around into the hole and glued the plastic strip back on with silicon.

When analysing the problem I searched for a sunroof drain pipe, but could not find any. There is none, as my Freelander has a side airbag instead.

I took a video on youtube to explain the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArXlnBOGaqE

Don't use silicon under any circumstances, you will cause rust. Use a Sikaflex car body sealer or teflon tape around the thread, gas pipe teflon tape is thicker. Use a hot dipped galvanized bolt M10. Do not use zinc plated bolts. If you use stainless thoroughly put teflon around the M10 thread. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
