What’s this?

Can anyone enlighten me on what this wee tube is sticking down behind the driver side rear wheel? And why do uploaded pictures rotate themselves? Censored

The overflow tube to let out excess fuel when you overfill, you know, to lubricate your shoes. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

It shouldn't be sticking out like that, i’ve Never seen an RRS with the overflow visible, usually it drains in the rear wheel arch. It looks like it has become detached or was never properly connected in the first place, get the car into the dealers to be repaired under warranty. Have you recently had the mud flaps fitted? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I asked in case they had been recentlybadded and the fitter had maybe dislodged the pipe during fitting.

Had a quick online nosey... found this, looks like I’m not alone! Would be good to see how it looks on other sports?

On a £80,000/ £90,000 car it is unacceptable whether it is a sunroof drain or a fuel overflow line, it should be trimmed flush with the rest of the body 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I have always meant to ask about this but forget on every dealer visit. It is visible on mine too but not as much as the picture above. It can be pushed in but not a permanent solution. Mudflaps were fitted from new by the dealer on mine. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I hven’t had the Sport for 10 days now so I cannot go out to look - I had fixed piano roof on my car. I have just been out to look at the Countryman as it has an opening panoramic roof and can see nothing sticking down on that. I’m sure my Sport had had that pipe sticking down I would have noticed it as I used to inspect the car frequently underneath and especially after I had been off roading it and never saw anything like that.

The only thing hanging off the Countryman is a length of yellow flex about 4m long............ going to the socket in my garage where it is plugged in for charging!

I’m in for a service on the 18th, I’ll ask the question! Bet the answer is, that’s how it should be!

Anyone else have same issue? ____________________
