Blowing down the tube will have removed the blockage from the knuckle/wind trap, but not opening it wider as per my method will mean it will block up again.

Well when I did blow down it it certainly unblocked just fine, plumbed it back up and water tested it and the water flowed out under the car as it should, very happy with it, and should it block up again I know it will only take a few minutes to solve the problem.
