Noticed the mention of Goldigger. There is a thread on LR4x4 saying that he has gone bump but he is trying to honour existing orders. I did see a nice looking Disco in ASDA's carpark (Radcliffe) a fortnight ago with Golddigger 4x4 decals on it


Cheers

Back on topic, if it is the body to sunroof seal then it is a pretty straightforward job to take the sunroof out and re-seal it with a flexible mastic. You don't need to remove the headlining (it would make it easier) but the job is a bit more fiddly. If it is the sunroof rubber to glass seal then I think these are available off eblag.

If you want to service the sunroof mechanism whilst it is off then that is relatively easy to do. The mechanism comes apart in two halves, do one half at a time so that you have a reference when you come to reassemble it.

I have got some photos of the mechanism in varying stages of disassembly if you want the link

The tray that the sunroof sits in has two drain points, one on each side (facing the front I think).
The drains are spouts formed into the tray and a plastic tube pushes onto these, runs along the alpine window and then down the rear quarter to outside.
Could be that one or both of these are blocked and the water is overflowing through the handle.

The 'spouts' also have a tendency to go brittle and snap off but if that was the case I would have thought you'd be getting water all over the place.
