Dreaded water in the tyre well

l322 2012 TDv8
I have suddenly started getting water in my tyre well coming in down the nearside panel over the sat nav and parking module.
The funny thing is if I park it on the drive facing downwards -its only a small incline- I don't get any water. However if I park it facing uphill I get at lease an inch of water.
The front drain holes on the sunroof are clear but I am thinking it might be the rear drain holes that might be the problem but I haven't got a clue of how to get to them- any suggestion please?

It could be your top boot seal failing.

A simply and, for a Range Rover, relatively cheap fix.

Exactly...
When you park back downwards water is collected around the problematic area. 2010 3.6tdv8 180k km.

Thanks DrRob. I had a look at the video and will have to check to see if the rear ones are blocked. sadly they don't show how to clear them, if they are.

a quick way to rule out the sunroof drains i have used over the years is to seal the sunroof with Vaseline, it will create a watertight seal, leaves no mess if wiped down well and allows the sun roof to be opened, i did this with my D3 and it stopped all the leaks related to the sunroof then when the weather was better i sorted the issue out, if after doing this you still get water ingress its not from the sunroof drains 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8

Check for rear top hinges of top trunk doors. I had a water leak there, undo the top nuts and put some silicon under. RR HSE 4.4 2006 LPG
