Get checking, and then add the spyhole mod, and either Jules' plenum guard, some mesh, or aquarium foam to help keep the debris out of the plenum.

Yup the v8 as well Artic did the spy hole mod for me. I have just checked mine to,day and found half inch of water on drivers

side the central and passenger side were bone dry

. The drain is blanked off on the drivers side.

Do it now! I had about 2 inches in mine. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru....php?p=1542886 I'm confused by my drivers side hole, it appears to be sealed ?!

The drain capability was for the driver's side was removed on later cars to save money

MrStu · 15th January 2014, 10:07

So where does that water go, into the ECU chamber?? That's a bright idea.

Project drive saving they removed the inner wing tube and put in place a rubber grommet

wonder how much that saved

you can replace as I did on my tourer

I've just changed the pollen filter thanks to Arctic's how to and thought I'd better check the plenum. I rod it every couple of weeks but yet i still found this........

Got twice this amount out of it

So it's definitely worth doing.

get under the car and cut the tube end off at a 45 degree angle opening the out let so this may be avoided in the future Arctic

checked mine today. passenger side dry. drivers side about half inch of water. how do i clear that. also the cover you put the spy hole in on the passenger's side, is there meant to be one on drives side as i have no cover on that side. also at either side right near the wing is a hole. drivers side has a grommett in it with i presume a tube. this was full of water. where does this go. passenger side was just a hole. another other plenums to check.
