I own an 07 Freelander2 and I have water coming in from somewhere. When I lifted the driver side rubber mat the mat underneath was saturated. Any one had this one. My nearest dealer is Pratstones Cardiff and wouldn,t let them touch it with a bargepole. If I can sort it out myself I would rather do that

possible aircon leak

possible leak from windscreen seals (has it been replaced?)

door seal failure

Has the car had it sunroof drain tube re-routed, (early recall) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I am sure I remember a previous post which advised of water coming up through the rubber seal around the steering column after driving through a large puddle/heavy rain?

If you trawl back, there were a couple of members who had the same.

Hope you find the problem. FL2 TD4 XS Santorini

i think Rowy was one of them, hit standing water at speed IIRC Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yep hit a flood at speed & forced water up around peddles, not happened since Ok in the rain etc.

I have posted on this one before most likely to be coming through the bulkhead/steering column seal where water depth and speed are factors still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

just been off roading at tong and now noticed after cleaning car that the driver side footwell carpets are wet, any more ideas or how to resolve  freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold

Keep outa da Lake!!  There's always a way forward!

2008 Freelander Td4 GS - Stornoway Grey - Now Gone - Sob
2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!!

Can also be caused by drain pipe from roof rail guttering (or atleast that is what I un derstood happened) become detached. Happened to me and was fixed under warranty.

Had a 'paddle' in there but not past wheel height, as more water has appeared in the passagger footwell this afternoon suspect the lake was not the cause and the water does not smell  freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold

Aircon drain?  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

After a few hours dismanteling things - yep your right, air con drain hose pipe worked loose so now back on and will test tommorrow.

Have taken pics of the pipe to help any other freelander 2 owners and will post a how to fix / check later  freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold

Is it water or anti freeze
(Anti freeze has a sweet taste, but don't drink the stuff !!) If Anti freeze the pipes to the heater box or the heater matrix has a leak !! (ouch)
Has your car got a sunroof (check the drain of pipes that there or running to the outside of the car) or have not come discounted at the sunroof end or blocked.
plus try everything as already said above.
All the best, hope you get it sorted.

If the front A pillar head lining is damp and there's water in the footwell it's almost certain it's a blocked sunroof drain pipe, had this on mine a few months ago, quick trip to the dealer sorted it.
