Default 2017 Discovery sport water in front footwells

Hi guys great forum.
Noticed a couple of days ago i have water in the passenger and drivers footwells (more so the passenger side) and was wondering where i should start looking for the ingress.
The car has not been through any water etc but it has been raining quite heavily lately , and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

AC drains mate... Get a wire hanger, cut it to make it straight, get under the car and poke the drains.

It’s a Land Rover. They let oil out and water in.

Pulled the carpet back and on the transmission tunnel there is a metal bracket with 2 bolts going through it and the water is comming in from under this bracket between the 2 bolts under the bracket.

Yeap, that's the AC drain. You need to get under the car and look for it, right on the highest point of the transmission tunnel. Easy to miss since it is small.

Hi,

Same issue here as I hear water sloshing around and the carpets are drenched on the passenger side.

I'm having a hard time finding the drainage holes under the car. Can someone describe the precise location or post a picture?

Thanks!
