Where Are The Drain Holes ?

[marinabrid]

Hi all

thought i would try and poke a coat hanger down the tops of the drain holes that are somewhere in the scuttle tray corner area, can i find them , can i eck,

anyone got a photo where they are or an exact location, i had me torch out a mirror angles there but couldnt find a hole , thought i would try the top approach rather than having to take the wheel arch line off,,

You still need to take the screws out fo the rear part of the liner, you'll see why when you've done it!!, only takes minutes to do both sides.

If you insist -but note the photos were taken with the scuttle tray removed.

They're the in dark bit down in the corners.

 

If you've got blocked drainage then poking from the top wont do much. Much better to poke up from the bottom - the drain outlet is located along the sill lip near the jacking point - its the bit that sticks out, you'll find its bunged up with silt and stones. In my case they were fast with pebbles of just the right size. Thats what you get with a large hole at the top and a small at the bottom.

 

For 15 mins work, its highly recommended to remove the wheel liners (about 8 screws IIRC) and as chris says you'll see why.......be prepared for a nasty sight. Depending on how old your car is and how little flushing of the drainage has been done you'll probably see most of your galvanising gone for a burton.
