Default Ramps & Lower Plenum (under servo)

Hi
Well with the bit of good weather we had today i decided to try otu my new Ramp extentions and Ho boy are they a joy to use so easy to raise the Tourer. No more jacking up for me to do those little essential jobs like unblocking the lower plenum behind the servo, checking for oil leaks checking exhaust etc, photos below.

New ramp extentions






While i had the car on the ramps i decided to check the lower plenum behind the servo low and behold look what i found.


So next step was to unblock this muck with these easy to purchase tools which i aready had for my other plenums



Once inserted and pushed up through to the servo inside i then pull it back and forth using the open graber on the way down





Once fully pushed home it came out just under the servo to the right as below.




Finalising in a nice cleaned out lower servo plenum my next step is to try and find a way i can access this from the top maybe use some cable tidy which is flexible then just insert the tool from the top worth a try i think.
At the same time i took these photos of the off side plenum exit hole when plumbers pipe bender fully inserted home





And last but not least i replaced the jacking point plugs X 4 which were missing making sure they stay put by using a bit of clear sealant on them jobs a good un.





The grabbers end
