To be fair it doesn't taste that bad, sweet but the rain water will taste better

But there is a clear difference between the two
Without a doubt fella, truly it doesn't taste that bad but you will definitely taste the difference
I mean don't start swigging it down, just taste it

Gotcha so just deflects the water away from going inside the engine bay .thanks Stan .
Sometimes the simplest things are not thought of…I shall see what I can do with mine I have a slight different set up to yours but basically the same …
The gutter at the back of the bonnet sheds water into the engine bay, as has been noted, but if you extend the gutter both sides then you need to ensure that you seal the seam between the wing and bulkhead. This cured most of my footwell leaks.Gotcha so just deflects the water away from going inside the engine bay .thanks Stan .

Water will also run off the roof gutters down the door seals and find its way in.

I used the stuff sp panels sell,it's like the original dumdum. Got a big roll for £9,used it on rear & side sliding windows. Unlike the silicone mess,it comes off easy

I knew I'd seen them for sale somewhere. The link above is for SP Panels (it shows the best picture), but they're available cheaper elsewhere.

It’s a bugger! At the moment I have got all four doors without the bottom rubber on so this helps the front mats drain! Having sealed a few leaks, fitted new door rubbers and generally improved things both front compartments leak onto the mats. It seems to run down the forward part of the door, hit the hinge and splash onto the mat. Another day, another defender conundrum to add to my list!

I wish I had £1 for every defender owner who complains about damp footwells.

I fitted new window rubbers they sit against the glass, hopefully helps stop water getting inside the doors as much ?
Dreading talking the rear door cards off, I know there's rust inside cos flakes drop off
Put it off last summer, because of my hernia.

Not wishing to be pedantic, it was more of an observation than a complaint...leaking doors are great for the egress of water after wading/fording tempestuous rivers!

Agreed, on my Series foot well leaks are generally a good thing as they let the water that comes in the roof join out.

I am not almost bald ive pulled that much hair out my head. HOWEVER after many many long hours with my head in a damp passenger foot well and looking all over on how water is breaching the engineers outstanding air tight creation of a defender i believe i have found the infiltration point. I had tried everything on the internet heater matrix, door seals, window seals, roof leak the lot. As shown in the photos there little joint in the gutter under the wind screen. Said joint looks harmless to the naked eye and would have not even crossed my mind to think this is the cause. After sat in the car for 1 hour straight with my dad spraying water from the hose pipe around potential leaking spots i saw nothing. Not a drop. it was only when i decided to have a look a few days later that i saw a shine on the paint inside the car which was the remanences of water. I have today applied aload of black silicone sealer to seal this car and hopefully it will sort the trick. By the way this leak wasnt a few drops it turned the foot well into a foot spa. Anyway thanks for all your efforts and suggestions i hop that this works and if it does i hope others can save a 4 month migraine to resolve their leaks.

I might of said this at some point but the art of land rovers is keeping oil in and water out, fingers crossed your all sorted
