Have your battery tested as well and check the output from the alternator. Do you have a multi-meter or DVM?

Very common for both the heater matrix o rings to leak.
Also there are a handful of places under the scuttle where water will get in.
Shame range rovers don't have fart flaps like on the old series' and defenders.

Drying the carpet may help but may not sort the problem as there may be condensation inside the BECM and/or corrosion in the connectors.
