I was wondering what all the fuss was about. I opened my bonnet looked in each rear corner, saw the clear plenums, checked them with a watering can. all OK.
DIDNT realise there was a THIRD one hidden away, and thats the grief ridden one!

So just been out to check mine and its all clear (should i be able to see the road through it? ) and as an added bonus pollen filter shows no signs of flood damage

thanks again

I Nev.
As long as the rubber bung is still inplace you are ok it may mean that some previous owner may have cut the end of the tube at 45% degrees which is better really as they tend not to get blocked so easy Arctic.

Hi Dennis.
Great seems you have caught it just in time what with these wild winds and deludge of rain this is the main time they can get blocked with lots of leaves falling and blowing about, if you do the spyhole mod you can then check them once a week when checking your oil, water top up washer bottle etc as i do, hope all members remember that the plenums need checking on a regular basis this time of year Arctic
