can someone please tell me where the drain pipe is for the air conditioner
as the water accumalates in mine and eventually spills out into the
passenger footwell.

thanks

I got aircon... first I heard of that... I had a load of water in the
passenger footwell that was caused by the drain holes on the sill
becoming clogged. The sills would fill with water, and when I had to
break, water rushes forward into the passenger footwell...

I would have thought in theory, all the heat exchange stuff happens in
the condenser thingy at the front of the car by the radiator, but if
you're not too rushed to get an answer, I'll have a flick through my
Haynes book see if there's anything I can find for you, but don't hold
your breath. a) Im forgetful, b) its a moderately crap book

That's the hot end of the system. The condensation occurs in the cold
end, which is somewhere near the heater. I don't know exactly where,
which is why I didn't respond to the OP.

Hey, you can still look in the Haynes book & find the other end of the
system.

The water gets into the sill because thats where the drain pipes from the
sunroof go. I had the same problem on my 92 Primera (non aircon model) so I
rerouted the drain hose through an unused gromet in the pillar so it now
runs outside behind the door.
