ls there any way

......to stop water getting in via the bottoms of the doors (by the look of it) and wetting the carpets?
Our last 90 TD5 bought new was dry for years, then the passenger side went.
Water sluiced into our 300tdi. I tried replacing the door seal but it made no difference.
The water seems to end up at the bottom of the door trim, where it soaks into the carpet.

When driving or standing ? I don't have this issue ? But someone removed the lower door seal, I have another one I am about to fit.

When standing on the drive. If l open the door there's water on the rubber floor mat at the bottom of the interior door trim.
My friend's new tdci has the same thing. I guess water is getting into the door and then coming out at the lower edge.

Take the door card off you will find either the plastic sheet is unclued/damaged
Or/and the drain holes in the door bottom rail are clogged.

Water can come off the roof gutters and track down the door seals into the footwell, ive often though the gutters need extending further along the screen top to push the water away from the seals.

As Flossie says take a look at the door water shedder part No 6 http://www.landroverworkshop.com/diagrams/body-chassis/body/front-door-assembly_52667
and the drain holes.

Thanks l will get on to that as soon as the Landy is un-frozen!

Carpets? Fook me I've heard it all now.

I know.

But l took out the rear carpet from my 110 CSW (just the one in front of the rear seats)
and it was much noisier, in fact l thought there was something wrong with the transmission.

This the roof gutters are just that little bit too short... one place it gets in is to track down the door and then comes in on the door hinge. Park on a slight incline nose facing down the slope and you'll see it quite well.

Our drive is on a slight downward slope.

Sit in your motor when everything is dry, get the missus to put a hose on it , not directly, try to simulate rain, pull carpets and trim away first.
If you still cant see it use flour or talc around the door seals etc, hose it down (not directly, simulate rain , rain doesn't fall sideways), allow to drip dry, open door and look for washed away talc.

Wind blown rain goes where it likes.

It doesn't, its rain, it cant like anything, cos its rain.
I very much doubt wind blown rain is this guys problem, rain running down the side of his vehicle and finding its way past a seal would be my guess, Off the top of my head I would say top front corner door to windscreen frame seal , windscreen frame to bulkhead seal or unlikely as it is bulkhead vent seal.
It could be running down past the door window seal and through the door but before ripping door cards off I would check the obvious first, using talc or flour should make it very obvious.

Rubber matting cut to fit will deaden the sound, and you can forget about the near impossible job of stopping water ingress. Stable matting works a treat.
