0:00 Right, so Range Rover Evoque water leak found. It's got the original screen in. But as you can see, James is putting a foam around it, and he's got some air, put some air the other side of it, compressed air, and this side looks ok. Oh no, look, it's coming out there, can you see that?

0:31 Ok, and then we saw the air coming out there, so that tells us that the seal around the screen is not sealed. Okay, and then we've got some water in this one from this side, it's been leaking on this side, so it's the original factory bond, I'm afraid. And then we've got the carpet up, and just shows you how much water has actually gone in there. Oh, now the wires might alarm you, but I wouldn't worry about the alarm, the wires, the foams soaking wet. James is showing it there, how wet that is. And so you've got

1:03 probably a couple of gallons of water in there, it will go from front to back. The wire parts, we're not worried about the wires themselves in the water, they will dry. It's just obviously we'll check to make sure there isn't any plugs, and up here you've got some units, we'll check to make sure they didn't get wet. So yeah, we're gonna have to get the seat out, get the carpet up and get a blower under there after we suck the water out of it. You tend to find sometimes you think

1:32 it's just wet here, but if you park the car on the hill, of course, then the water finds its way to the lowest point. So you can't really feel a lot of water there, but when we get the carpet up we'll find that there'll be water underneath.

This range Rover had a leak from a factory fitted screen, which seems to be something of a common problem on this model.

Over time the car expands and contracts, the shell flexes while cornering, and a weakly bonded windscreen can, over time, develop leaks.

There were two leaks at the top of the screen which were dripping down behind the dash and leaking down into the footwell, causing wet carpets.

Solution: The windscreen will have to be refitted and properly sealed, then brought back to us to be decontaminated and dried.

Here at new again, we specialize in leak diagnosis, fixing leaks, decontamination and drying cars.

Question: "Will my car dry out on its own if i have the heating on?"

Answer: There is practically no chance of your car drying on its own because it is unlikely you noticed the leaks until the car was already full of water. And it can be a lot of water! Please watch the video below to see how much water is in a leaky car. You should make some effort to dry your car yourself or have it done professionally because water left in a car will lead to rust, electrical problems and mould.
