RJF Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Could you post a picture of it? Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is it by any chance the black toolbox with the jack & wheel brace in it? If you don't have an owner's manual you can download the factory RAVE manuals on CD for free from the technical archive, they include full owners manuals. The dampness is jut a freelander thing, drill a ~10mm hole in the lowest point of the cubby box, paint the bare metal to stop it rusting & it will let the water out.

Peter45 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 It's not the tool box, it is something electrical and takes up most of the room, will try and post a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sargent Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If it is attached to the lid of stowage space then it is your sub-woofer. It's not causing the condensation so there must be another reason why it's wet. You'd need to check your roof seals (if it's a 3 door) and your rear window seals to make sure they're not leaking.

Peter45 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Didn't know I had a sub woofer, thanks for the info and will check my tail gate window seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sargent Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Also, could be your rear, roof-rail mounts. Apparently there's a seal in there that can fail and will result in your boot getting wet. Also, apparently it runs down a plastic channel in the rear that can come apart and leak...

nickcc Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just had a new rear door seal fitted to my 2005 TD4 due to water leaks, main LR dealer tell me that the seal has been modified and this should cure the leak (so far it has). Also advised me that the condensation on the cubby hole lid was due to the hot exhaust system, mounted beneath the cubby hole, heating the leaked water.
