Ah Noo I know how to get in just what did you use to clear the pipes like as pipe cleaner? If so where from ?

 

[luke3]

where do the pipes exit, couldn't you just push all the crap through with something?

 

[Benmc]

Yea that's what I mean but what's long enough and flexible enough

If you have a pressure washer give it a squirt and it may be enough to dislodge it.

I do it every wash to to keep the area clean.

Broke pressure washer you recon a hose on a jet could do it?

Or an air line.

Mine have never got blocked as every time I clean the car I give them a good squirt.

I've suggested it in the past to people and it's worked, if you don't have one, next time you have a trip to the petrol station give it a shot for a quit or two as it may save you a few hours work.

Pressure washer or nozzle on hose. Short bursts work fine, continuous pressure could cause drain housing the crack.

Or an air line.

That what i use. A cheap air can for cleaning keyboards and such like from maplin

Get some water sitting in the scuttle, arch liner out, poke up pipe with long screwdriver. Scuttle drains, flushing pipe. Job done.
