Does anyone know what the small pipe is which is under the centre console of the above stated car. The car does have Aircon which we were using today when I spotted the puddle of water underneath.

This is condensate from the air con. Perfectly normal, I expect that it is mentioned in the manual somewhere, it is astonishing how many people do't know what it is and have called the rac/aa out because they have spotted water under their car (from this tube) In the stack of service papers for my wife's car was a report sheet from a breakdown firm: called out to a reported water leak when the car was a just a few weeks old: you guessed : condensate drainage. That owner must have felt silly, especially if they had sat around waiting in the heat for an hour or so.
Many thanks for that. Very helpful :)

And 2ndly, ensure you regularly use the AC *all year around* to keep it exercised and gas tight.
