It must be the weather or something, but they're blocked again!
Only been uncovered a few days recently too. And a weekend at Silverstone Classic.

However, this time a bit of agitation by sucking and blowing through my captive syphon tube then a couple of kettles full of hot water and it's all flowing again.

What with my intermittently failing blower fan and crumbling foam seal around the cabin air intake box it's all a bit annoying..... (First World problems)
