Wot , except I used a straight edge and a pencil, rather than tape

Simonarius has suggested pulling out this bung so there is never a chance of the plenum filling up with water I can't see anything wrong with the idea myself apart from a slight possibility of engine smells

brilliant...!
presumably you could adapt a rubber thing (like the plenum drains themselves - used the other way round.. or something like that) to channel water out and down through 90degrees rather than onto any electrics like that trinary switch... |

Hmm...a bit like the plug and overflow in the bathtub. Water would have to get a quarter to half an inch deep I guess to overflow. Would it create a false sense of security about the plenum drains? i.e. you wouldn't bother checking them unless water was overflowing?

what about.. grinding the hole a bit lower so it properly drains from the lowest point - and then a siliconed on little reservoir - say 1 inch square and 2 or 3 deep) beneath it so you can periodically see if anything has been coming out? Is there any possibility of a tool that one can poke in through the said hole and probe/unblock the invisible drainhole..i.e. like a right angle bit of wire? havent looked into it yet, so cant visualise further... |

The cover doesn't come off mine without the third clip being undone. Who designed these b****y clips anyway? Some sort of raving lunatic? The scrivet thingies are rubbish too - try unscrewing them and either: a) The whole thing turns b) Nothing turns c) Some idiot has already chewed up the plastic slots, or d) The screw part undoes then flies off and disappears forever underneath the brake servo. What the hell is wrong with bolts! Last edited by Simon W; 6th January 2007 at 07:49.. |
