Leak
« on: September 23, 2011, 18:39:49 »
Hi All,

Just noticed drip running off front left splash guard (nearside) whilst the engine is running, and shortly after it has stopped. Looks clear. Can't see any obvious source (leaking pipe, etc) - any ideas? The truck is a Puma.

Cheers,

Nick

Does it have air conditioning?

Following advice on the Defender2 forum, I found one of the teats/valves that sits in the air ducting just before the heater - gave it a squeeze and a shed load of water flooded out, so hopefully that is the source of the drip :cool:

I'll take it out for a spin later and see if its cured.
