A thought, if sprayed in blind behind the wheel arch liners two things come to mind

Firstly are the liners now stuck fast? and secondly I would be inclined to check the drain tubes are not blocked at the tapered ends by the treatment?

Our 75 Tourer going in next week for the Rustmaster treatment as we always intended to keep it for the long term.I did wonder if the wheelarch liners
would have to come off but if the treatment reaches parts 'other beers
don't reach' that will be sufficient.

If only - mine still rattle around like good'uns. THe only part of the 75 that seems of cheap build quality (the ones on my old Hyundai were as solid as a rock).

A good point - I will do so asap. On the subject of drain tubes - whilst the car was in the air, I had a good nose underneath at the 2 central plenum drain tubes. On mine, these are not straight tubes, but have a 90 degree bend in them. Many folk here talk of clearing their tubes with a peice of rod etc (sounds painfull) but I can't see how that would work with the bend in the tube. For what it's worth, i cleared mine with a blast from a garden hosepipe -worked a treat.

Interesting comment!
Certainly on the CDT it is straight through and I use and domonstrated at Eden the use of a piece of 15mm Poly Pipe which works perfectly for the one under the Pollen filter.

I have not had a go or even located the one near the Brake servo yet though. Maybe I will go and have a good look at lunch time

There is only one central plenum drain tube and it is straight through. I would suggest you may have been inspecting the A/C condensate drains. There are two of them.

Hadn't thought of that!! You may well be right - I do wish I had taken a piccy. The 2 drain tubes were rubber, and each had a small rubber flap on the end. I assumed they were plenum drains after someone here (or possibly on .org) said that there was a second central plenum drain near or under the brake servo.

I will no doubt find out when I get my hands on my Haynes manual (hopefully tomorrow If my wife has got me what I think she has for our anniversary:lol: )
