I actually felt a little disappointed at finding nothing come out of the drain pipe.
Guess I might need to wait another 5 years before I get a result.

We have a few trees here too.--A couple of large pine trees whose needles seem to last for ever refusing to go quietly like any normal tree's leaves. Normal leaves seem to rot down to nothing.--

Hi, i have just got my first 75 and spotted this thread. The plenum was holding quite a lot of water and the pollen filter had a tide mark on it. I wondered what the musty smell inside was. Many thanks.

Hi Martin.
You now need to keep your fingers crossed that the ECU as not been for a swim and got damp if it has then it could give you none starting problems in the future.

Try and make our last nano meet in a few weeks' time and get some on the spot advice
