Clearing boot drain holes
Guys,
I've been struggling to clear the drain holes in the boot channels (12 on drawing). I don't want to poke anything too sharp down them in case I puncture something, but my efforts so far haven't worked. I park nose down on a slightly sloping drive, so water collects at the front of the boot channel. It's not leaking but I'd like to sort it. I understand they are right angled but never seen them off the car. If any of the C70 regulars could help I'd be grateful. [IMG][/IMG]

Hi zapcity1
I own a C70. Just gone and poured water down the drain holes and it comes out back of the wheels from under the wheel arch so I think your image could be slightly misleading unless I'm mistaken. I don't think it's a right angle. If your's are blocked, perhaps high pressure air hose might clear them, or some kind of drain cleaner solution and leave to soak. Best wishes Fred |

Finally, finally, finally, after 40 mins poking with a dozen tyraps and getting another soaking from the hose on high pressure, I've got them clear at last.
What a faff!
