Pull the headliner...
You will have to pull your headliner down to repair this. Your sunroof sits in a metal tray and when water drains out of the sunroofs it goes through two black plastic blocks on the sunroof tray. These plastic blocks have hoses that run down the inside of the "A-Pillar"(the windshield frame is a part of this).
As I said, the blocks are plastic and the sunroof tray is metal. The silicone seal was poorly installed when the Rover was built and will need to be resealed.
I just went through the same thing and I fused it to the metal tray with JB Weld Plastic and then covered that with clear silicone sealer to keep the water out.
Its a pain in the neck to get the headliner out, but its your only way to solve this problem.

I have read about discos without sunroofs having similar leaks.There is a body joint/crease/union prone to failure on the roofline some where.

That is a leak at the "A" pillar, which Rover wrote up a TSB about years ago.

If you don't plan on fixing your sunroof (anytime soon)just seal it from the top with clear or black silicone adhesive before the leak does major damage......or gorilla tape
