And once you've cleaned the lower drains out why not stop all the debris going down there in the first place.
We all know how to do that don't we? And it's not a plug to buy my plenum guard leaf shield BTW (whatever you want to call it !) There's netting and sponge you can source yourselves. Then stop worrying about drains and just check them on the annual service. Put some water down the RH bonnet hinge area every time you wash the car, see it coming out below, you know they are clear ............done and dusted ! Checking them every week is a little paranoid me thinks

I was surprised after cleaning all the muck out of mine and flushing through with a hose pipe that the driver's side drain under the servo was blocked as noticed it when under the car and cleaned it out with a long screwdriver ... not sure if it's good for the complexion, but certainly got a face full of rotting muck and water just from what was in the tube ! lol.
Did modify the plenum air vent covers by adding a layer of finer mesh to the underside to stop natures split pins (pine needles) from entering, and coarse foam (fish pond filter grade) made to fit the open drivers side. I wish they'd put the ecu's in the battery box and the battery in the boot like my old P6 V8 .... |

vengence of the weather
With the bad weather coming back with a vengence rain then snow and cold frosts check those plenums as water can freeze and cause a plug in the lower plenum and if it rains right after a cold spell they can fill up quickly ad we all know the outcome better to be safe than sorry Arctic.

Maybe only applicable to cars laid up Steve
The heat from the engine soon thaws the bulkhead through

Hi Jules noted i was thinking more of if the tube had a bit of debris in it and the flaps have not been cut off and the the tube being at the lowest point could still be frozen its like the Arctic here

I have a 03 plate MG - so do I just have 2 plenums drains to check (driver + passenger side) under scuttle guard? Quote:
Hi Steve Any better pics of the driver side plenum, please? Cut what 45 degrees? Is this another mod? Is the plenum guard same as Jules scuttle guard? [QUOTE=Arctic;1109951] Quote:
Excellent Steve - I will need to get one of those plumber springs Last edited by Wayne2015; 18th July 2015 at 12:25.. |
