Default AC problem

I recently bought a 2004 Freelander HSE and on a recent scorcher, I turned on the AC. The AC worked fine but after a half hour or so a cold mist of water droplets began spraying out of the dash vents. I immediately shut it off and the next time I made a sharp left turn, a small stream of water pored out from under the dash onto the passenger side floor. I'm assuming, like all cars with AC, there is a condensate drain tube and I'm hoping it is clogged and that is all the problem is. Is there anyone out there that can give me some advice?

Yes there is a condensate tube that drains to under the car. I can't see the exact route in the RAVE guide. From https://landroverforums.com/forum/fr...der+condensate there appears there might be a recall on that part, may want to phone the dealer.

its a bulletin not a recall. sometimes you have to reposition the box to get it to stop. Follow the bulletin before installing parts. Trust me, I have done the bulletin without replacing parts.

many things are possible. pressure switches or there is arestriction in thesystem causing extreme high pressure, or fan not coming on.

RB - please explain how excess condensate water not draining is produced by a system with extreme high head pressure.
