Whats on the bottom of the drain tubes before you cut them off, some sort of simple flap etc?

Hi Gary
Do not get them mixed up with the A/C outlet tubes.

They will look like this below cut them off at angle 45 degree but even cut of they can block up unless you have the leaf guard in place, these can be obtained from Jules, cheers Arctic

PS check out the spyhole mod too

Mines MkII so going to retrofit drivers side drain too, with the mesh mod to the grille I should be able to pretty much forget about drains LOL
Been married twenty-odd years so cant remember what certain bits of ladies anatomy look like, unless you mean ears?

And don't forget to check them at every service - and much more frequent if you regularly park under trees!

I had water damaged ECU which cut the engine twice, on both occasions with real risk of a serious accident. This was repaired by Big Russ who was very helpful and courteous. My gratitude to him is beyond words!

Aftert that I bought from Julian (Jules) his little kit blocking the gap on the driver side. Arrived very quickly, fitting is easy (go gently though...) and hopefully it will solve that flooded plenum problem.
