Floor pan water leak Disco 1

For a couple of months my Disco had a "hidden" water leak on the front floor pan, both driver and passanger side. Lifted the carpets and thick padding, found no visible leak, underbody inspection showed nothing.

Then I struck gold. I replaced the two front mud flaps with a new set I bought from Rob Leimer's Land Rovers, Brit Part nogal, but as good as the original at a 10th of the OM part price.

As I removed the brackets below the floor pan, and the steel plate with the studs from inside, I found an additional 8 mm hole on each side, with the left-overs of a plastic grommit on the passanger side, and nothing in the drivers side, the drivers side clearly showing the water ingress path. I sealed both the openings, and sealed around the studs with a silicone/form-a-gasker compound.
