My RRS has developed a very dank and musty smell in the cabin. A bit of investigation reveals a rather damp passenger footwell. There hasn't been any rain, the car hasn't been washed for over a month and no leakey dogs or children have been in it. Any ideas ? RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

You might find it in the owners manual, but I think that with your car being so new a trip to the dealer for the dash board dismantling might be in order...................... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Usually the actual pipe blocked is outside the car. On air-con cars there is a condensate drain tube that comes out often down the side of the transmission at the rear of the engine. This is what produces the pool of water under the car on warm days. This gets blocked by dirt (have you been off-roading recently?) and the water builds up in the bottom of the air-con and then eventually comes out through the footwell vent in the passenger side. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit |
