Hello Steve, We really enjoyed Abingdon getting our Disco muddy this was where we joined the club. I have read and enjoyed our first edition of Discourse, and feel I can contribute a suggestion to the two people whose Disco passenger footwells were filling up with water. Our new cars passenger footwell was saturated the day we first saw it and bought it, the guy suggested the pressure washer caught it....yeeeer. I thought it might be the Aircon evaporation tray leaking and was pleased to discover the drain plugs filled with grit and the feeder pipe detached under the carpets. I confidently put it all back to together and a few days later noticed it was wet through again pints of fresh water in the sound proofing foam and carpets! My attention turned to the sun roof and windscreen but every thing looked okay. I eventually solved the mystery. it was the windscreen washer fluid bottle, in its previous life, someone had reversed the one-way valve to the rear wiper nozzle, its diaphragm was split and fluid was jetting out straight onto the main electrical wiring loom and running down into the front of the car, by the time the fluid reached the interior the chemical smell of washer had evaporated and what looked and smelt like clean water filling the floor. I have removed the afore-mentioned valve and prefer to wait a second or two when operating the rear wiper washer. Best wishes Andrew Wilkinson and Family (via email)
