Air Conditioning soaking front foot well carpets ??

I have a 1995 Disco -- It seems as though somehow the air conditoning water instead of draining out underneath the car is somehow flowing into the passenger front foot well -- any suggestions please ???

Sounds like an heater matrix leaking. BIG job if it is. The whole front dash has to come out to get at it.

I had a similar problem, but the water was draining to the driver footwell. Checking under the car I found the rubber drain was blocked, caused by oil leak and dirt.

Just squeezed the rubber outlet, which allowed the water to drain out and all was good.

That is great Ken - mine is a LHD so would be the same place -- can you tell me where the rubber drain is situated ??

Have a look just inside the chasis, you should see a small drain hose sticking down through the floor. Comes straight out from the forward section of the footwell, is approx 100mm long.

Hope that helps, am tired and off to bed now. Bit late here in Sydney!
