Can someone point me in the right direction in fixing this problem. I've noticed in steady rains, water starts to drip down on passenger side behind the glove box soaking the foam and eventually dripping onto the floor mats. At first I thought it was a "condensation drain tube" that came loose. But it dripped the last time it rained and I hadn't used the AC. Also, I couldn't find any kind of tubing under there. I did find a bunch of wires and electronics and thats why I'm worried. Could the water be coming in from the vent or grill that stretches accross the bottom of the windshield covered with foam?

Underneath the vehicle, on either side of the transmission tunnel, are two "nipples" that are the drains for the a/c condensation lines. Take a straightened clothes hanger or something comparable and stick it up there and see if they are clogged. Hopefully that will take care of it.

Rain is probably entering via the air intake for the heater, should have a plastic baffel fitted to stop direct rain ingress. Official LR fix! What year is the Disco?

However unlikely it sounds, also check the alpine windows for leaks.My drivers' side one leaked ,and the water ended up in the driversside footwell, meanwhile on the way down drowning my fusebox.

Do you have sunroofs? Make sure the drains are still in place.

I had the exact same problem with my 97 disco. The dealer told me it was probably the a/c condensation getting clogged. I thought they were just trying to make me pay for nothing, but they took an air pressurized pump and blew a bunch of crap out of the system. It worked and they only charged me $20.
