Drain cleaning again

[Delboy]

So it's been a wee while since I last done the drains on the car and it's been dry here for a few days, so thought I would get busy.

Now the car does not live under trees but I was shocked at how much twigs and leaf debris that has accumulated since I last done it.

So today I decided to attack the scuttle with a different approach, the missus had a long thin brush kicking about under the stairs that's never used so I thought I would give it a go. It's very effective as the leaf debris and stuff sticks to it and gets pulled out quite easily so using that I went at it with the brush and Hoover for about 40 mins till it was clean.

The brush was most effective going in under the plenum from driver side, and the Hoover detailing attachment was best in the passenger side down through the heater hoses.

I also had a go again at the sunroof channels cleaned them out with wet wipes as there was a fine layer of sediment, I then got the bug spray bottle out and pumped warm soapy water down the forward drain hoses and then poured more water in the drainage tray and made sure the water drained away on its own.

After all the brushing and hoovering I got boiling water and flushed the scuttle out and made sure it came down form both sides of the tunnel.
