Get yourself some plastic strimmer line and give your drains a good poke around. Worked for me

Poke an open ended hosepipe in and see if it washes through

Dont use undue force ot it will displace the rubber down pipe

No buddy, they have guns and nozzles on them that don’t fit/push into the drains . Removing the gun let’s you push the flexible rubber hose end into the drain for maximum flushing

The best tool I found for clearing the drain is the dipstick for the ATF in the gear box.

He's talking about a "hope pipe", something you use when tackling a particularly difficult job
Post up a few photos of your "hosepipe" just for clarification
