Boot drainage

[page3]

My S has always had one tube blocked. I've tried blowing, sucking (don't ask), pressure air blower, poking coat hangers down both ends but nothing has cleared the blockage.

Now that its going to have to live outside for a bit I though I really ought to fix it.

a) Anyone know here I can get spare drainage tubing from?

b) anyone every replaced it? How easy is it to do? I've tried following the tubing as far as I can without removing carpet but it doesn't seem to follow any sensible path (why doesn't that surprise me)?

I cleared mine out by taking it off, (it just pushed on to a stub under the bootlid, then has a grommet through the boot floor) and then clearing it out in the shower with a bit of old curtain wire! Washed up up nice and clean. So did the drainage tube.

Might be worth buying some drain unblocker, Mr Muscle or something. Not sure if it will effect the pipe adversly tho, wouldn't have thought so as most kitchen drains are PVC but best read the label. Will hopefully mean you won't have to remove the pipe. The post above is a good idea too, net curtain wire is good, it's strong enough to move most rubbish and flexible enough that it follows the pipe unhindered.

I had the same problem and even the strongest cleaner unblocker would not shift it so I replaced the pipe. The best place is a pet shop garden centre they sell all sorts of diameter pipe. just re-thread it through the boot floor and bob you auntie
