Land Rover / Range Rover IV (LG) - Water ingress in the area of the spare wheel well

In this repair case, the customer complains about moisture / a water leak in the area of the spare wheel recess.

Troubleshooting: A closer look at the spare wheel well revealed that the factory-fitted drain plug was only inadequately preventing water from entering from outside.

Remedy: replace the factory-fitted drain plug with a 1-way valve (OE No. AYB500080) in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
