Hello - I cannot find the drain hose on my Freelander 2005 for the Air Conditioning unit. I have removed the passenger (right) side and driver (left) side carpets and poked around under the plastic cover surrounding the heating unit inside the car in the middle below the dash. I have watched every video and searched all sites and the unit looks very different. Certainly no drain hoses.

I have tried looking under the car and can't locate any drain.

I am stumped and getting fed up.

I live in a small northern community and no one wants to deal with the problem and the manual is not helpful. I have searched the Land Rover Service Repair Manual CD and can't find any useful advice. I am a 67 year old woman and this is not what I want to be doing with my life.

 

Just to let any other unhappy 2005 Freelander owner know - the drain hose for the A/C does not exit through the floor. The Evap unit is below the passenger (LWD) side glove box (NOT under the center of the console above the transmission as many videos show) and the drain tube exits the back of the evap unit through the carpet, sound deadening and through the bulkhead into the engine compartment. My drain hose is flexible with a tapered end at the bottom of the hose. The hose drains on to a heat deflector in the bulkhead side of the engine compartment. Some other threads say the tapered end indicates a bulkhead hose - but not on my LR. Took a lot of struggle but I took the passenger seat out, and the soaking wet carpet out (had to do some cutting so as not being forced to remove the fascia) and then cut a bigger hole in the sound deadening foam around the pipe where it enters the bulkhead (from the inside of the car). I tightened the hose up around the evap part and then I will run the A/C to see if any water leaks into the passenger floor well from the A/C unit. If all is OK, I plan to park the Freelander outside and let the rain pour down for a couple of days. If no water comes in, I will replace the carpet (with a bigger hole for the drain) and, by gum, it had better stay dry.
