Did the 'bonnet pull mod' today although all seemed to be spot-on anyway, but thought I would take the forum's advice and 'future proof' it ... just in case, lubed the cables and bonnet catches too.
Also thought I would have a go at the plenum cleaning job, got it all apart and as predicted ... actual drain hole was blocked with what looked like 14 years of a fine powdery mud, not a single leaf or twig in sight!! was quite surprised tbh. As a member suggested, I used a 15mm plumbers bending spring and just carefully twisted and pushed it through a couple of times.
Clean as a whistle now. Thought I would go OTT and completely cover everything under the scuttle covers with a good healthy dose of WD40, then give the wiper mechanism pivot points a dab of grease.
All back together now ... on to the next job!
