2023 Range Rover Vogue - ‘filling with water’

[DorisMk2]

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone else has the latest RR Vogue and can hear a ‘sloshing’ sound when driving! Apparently it’s the first one the dealership has had but I’ve heard that before!

Seems like the chassis, sills and other parts are full of water! Wonder what the electrics will be like in 12 months! 😂

Interested to hear others with similar issues!

I had this on a 2014 and one of the drains from the panoramic roof had detached, it’s just a rubber pipe connected to a metal drain, I had to pull off the side trim.

Surely a 2023 is just a warranty claim and let them worry about it

This is more than a simple drain issue…sounds like the sills are full of water!

They’ve still got it….4 weeks on!

Probably waiting for it to dry out so they can claim it's 'fixed'!

The 24 plate hire car has the same problem!!!

You'd be amazed how much rain water can run in from one down-pour. We have had a lot of rain recently and when my drain pipe failed the sills were full and the spare wheel well had water sloshing about.

The dealers are aware of the fault and so is the factory. Other than drilling a hole to let the water out, I dont think they have a solution so far.

I did that on my mother-in-laws Citroen C1 and it solved the damp carpets. Once I drilled the whole I used a centre punch and hammer to make a dent in to the hole to make the water go that way.

Seems a bit barbaric on a new ish Range Rover though.
