Yes.... its me.... again!
Whilst hunting for an electrical fault in the wires in the LH footwell (problems with the LH door electrics), I found some fluid in the channel that the wires are run in. At first, given that my rear windscreen squirter has stopped squirting, I thought maybe the pipe also runs along here from the bottle at the front and a join had given way.
Then I opened the boot and got a whiff of the berry scented top up that I use, and I think the leak is back there, and the fluid in the channel certainly doesn't smell as nice lol. So, I know what some of you are thinking, damp carpet meaning buggered heater matrix "O" rings, right?
No... the carpets aren't wet.
I don't know if that means the leak isn't from the matrix, so what I'm asking is, am I lucky (or unlucky lol) and this leak is something else, and if so, what?
One of the Landrover magazines luckily has a "how to..." bit in it this month on replacing two rubber rings costing £1 each in 3 hours without paying a garage 8-12 hours to do it, and it looks like something even I with my limited abilities might be able to manage, so its not the end of the world, but I'd rather know that I'm fixing the right thing. So, over to you guys, is there anything else it might be?
