United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Orkney Grey
Wet Boot

I have the Land Rover rubber boot liner in my 2014 Freelander. This morning there were pools of water on it. Lucky, as without it carpet soaked! We did have heavy overnight rain and it was parked with the front slightly higher on my drive. Has anyone else had this? I didn't get where I am today by being sensible!

High level break light is the culprit I think!

I'd concur with the high-level brake light diagnosis: had this on both my FL2s. Can be either leaking seal around the edge or a problem with the connection of the tube to the washer nozzle. 2011 SD4 HSE Auto

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

Get hold of it and give it a wiggle. The lamp. The lamp I said. Rolling with laughter

Silicon-ed mine in recently with acid free silicone on just one side of the now poor seal (at 3 years 3 months). Left a small area at bottom center as I felt it may help draining back onto outside skin of tailgate, could be proved wrong on that.

May be interesting getting it out again but I found it far too slack in the hole. Whistle FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
