Just dragged my ageing bones out to the car to finally change the pollen filter. I have taken the opportunity to take a couple of photos of how I have cured the "water in the footwell " problem. It is just a short length of LPG pipe I had over from my old caravan. it fits snugly over the spigot drain and reaches down to the flap valve taking all the water passed the pollen filter. As you may be able to see I used the top right clip on the pollen filter casing to thread a short length of copper wire and twist it up to give some support to the pipe. This has withstood several weeks of me unblocking the hole with an old meat skewer . ( this way of unblocking the hole has in the past resulted in the drain pipe being pushed off the spigot but not any more
By the way - the pollen filter was the original from new!!! and it was marked GM. Just another Vaux**** part found on the old girl.
And before you all get onto me about being a smelly old tw*t --- yes I am:yum: . But the intake behind the original filter is as clean as a new pin and there is absolutely no smell. No need for aerosols of expensive foam to do a cleaning out
