yes there not much room i sliced my arm in two places tryin to get my arm down to the bung just couldnt do it.

thats why i did from the other end and got hover in there.

I had the same problem, driving through Friday's monsoon rains on the A428 in Cambriidgeshire.  The drain works but not for the rate of water that was pouring down the windscreen.  Had about two inches in the rear footwell wbich created a tsunami into the front footwell every time I slowed down.

Is there some confusion here? I thought that the drain hole was part of the rubber bung take it  out completely and you have a large, inch and a quarter hole? which would allow the water to run straight out onto the chassis leg ,ie no obstruction atall. Does the bung over time get tired and the hole tend to close up?

yes the bung is the drain hole false stop, but unless you have matchstick arms you wont be able to get your arm in to remove it  

[robson]

If you are determined to remove it a long stick with a hook on the the end  or a piece of strong wire should get it out. An earlier post said take out the pollen filter carrier to get room I dont know what sort of job this is.

I removed my pollen filter poked the dirt  out the small hole then washed it out with small amount of water to make sure it drained.

[robson]

yes but needs doing on a regular basis depending on where car is parked,under trees etc.

The lad at work who replaced discs and pads, said the chassis leg, were the water runs, was a very bad design fault, as the leg is as rusty as hell, and needs sorting, I have not seen it yet, but would have thought that a longer pipe would have sorted the problem when the car was designed, keeping the water away from the chassis, cause we all know what water and metal cause

The leg itself is a very efficient drain
