Hi Can anyone please help me with this? I own a L322 2006 Supercharged and for some reason it has started to leak badly down the offside front door pillar and it also runs down the bonnet release and over the brake pedal. I have cleared the sunroof drains and changed and cleared around the pollen filter any advice would be appreciated

Wholly inadequate scuttle drains.

One under each wiper spindle and one on it's own on the N/S, also check for missing scuttle retaining poppers, should be at least 4 I think.

Screen replaced recently?
 
Hi thank you for the reply , no it's the same screen for the last 5 years :( but I will get my hubbie to check the parts you have suggested
 
I had a large amount of water collecting in the habitation door-well of my motorhome and when the dealer replaced the door seal and removed the 'footbath', I told them they had devalued my vehicle! It took a few minutes for the penny to drop with them.:rolleyes::D
 
It is important to get it done.
The water ingress will start to interfere with the computers and electronics, then your RR will go crazy and become a real issue.

Some people use those dehumidifier boxes get all damp out, of course, you’ll have to stop the water coming in first.
 
I plan on covering her up with a dehumidifier inside to dry her out over Christmas. Hopefully we can trace the leak with the help you have all given. If not she is going to turn into a fine swimming pool , maybe a few ducks can take up residence lol thank you and I wish you all a festive christmas

And all the best to you and yours hope you get the car sorted.

Wellington boots on your Christmas present list?
 
Drill holes let the water out - plug holes with bungs....

Sort out ingress of water after stressful family festive events, ( if needed, you may call upon said swimming pool as a diversion from meeting far flung rellies who were nor flung far enough) ...keep up with the dehumidifier stuff tho ...
 
Just an update the leak was coming from the roof seal , this was uncovered when I had the windscreen changed but thank you so much for all your help, however I now have the issue of hitting a deer at 60mph and smashing the o/s headlight and bumper :( devastated about the deer and really hacked off about the front of my rangy so if anyone is selling a new front bumper and headlight assembly or know where I can purchase them from I would be very grateful

Thanks for the update. Always nice when someone comes back and let's folks know the cause. It might just help in the future :)

Oh dear! ;) Headlight and bumper, ouch! Only help I can give is try the local scrappies. Or bay of e. Quite a few bits turning up now. I got my 'extortionately priced , even at 4x4 places', electrochromatic wing mirror glass, from there. Cost a fraction of what it would
Just really check the VIN compatability

I've got those bits, very deer dear I'm afraid as I'm selling them with the rest of the vehicle.
