Not one issued for this,,, you just have the drains in front of the front screen and the heater box drain.

Hi Malcolm,

Do you have anything for the R171?.. I've found three drains in the water catcher (front screen), one in the battery compartment, 2 in the boot from the rear of the tin top (these are easy, just disconnect and blow through).. So i know where the entry points are, just could do with exit points??

When car was last MOT'd had a look underneath when on the ramp, found 2 drains, one either side of the prop shaft/gearbox, haven't a clue where entry points are for these!!

Any help would be much appreciated

On the assumption that Wireman is still here somewhere, many thanks for the info regarding the drains. I couldn't have cleared it without your photos.

Hi

Not sure if its any use here, I also have a Discovery 3, the sunroof drains block very frequently, similarly on my old R170 SLK the scuttle drains used to get blocked. For each of these I have always used a large length of curtain wire. It has never failed to work.

I tried compressed air once as well. That didn't end well when it over pressurised and ruptured a blocked tube

Yes, here:

But it would make sense to order some other items at the same time to justify the €14 shipment costs.

Hi Ray, Thankyou for your reply, I will take a look at this. As you say shipment cost do not justify the part cost but I will see what else I need.
