Try 'strimmer cable' shoved down the 2 forward ones and same at the rear.

Located aside of the battery at the front in the well which has plastic bits around it. It is the initial start point, it may help to unbolt the plastic cover.

However, just use strimmer to start or bamboo cane.

It is a common fault, the carpets come up nice. If you can pin back the interior carpet as best you can and dry the interior out. Try a fan heater - it takes a while.

Mind we may yet get a heatwave.

Thanks

Hi guys thanks for the sound advice, The drains were all blocked but mainly the passenger side one. I used a pull through for the barrel of my rifle and it cleared it. The muck etc also went into the aircon part under glove box so i cleaned it all out and replaced the filter.It rained hard that night with no leaks so the problem is solved.

Thanks again guys!

Nick
