sloshing noise

Post by Rusky » Sun Jul 23, 2017 12:30 pm

Took the zed out this morning and was immediately met by the sound of water sloshing about from behind the passenger seat :cry:
So i parked up and took off my trusty mobile. drain cleaner. Stubby owners you dont have one :poke:
Anyway this was the result after a bit of poking around.

Personally I find the whippy the ideal tool for clearing the drains 😁 because that's about the only thing it's useful for..

Also, if you stop the roof halfway, you can easily poke a welding rod or the like right down and out of the bung, saves crawling on the floor!

No problem. Will need to bring trolley jack and stands. Only takes 15 min to fit, as long as we can find some solid ground to do it on. What engine/year?

PP or Bank transfer on the day is fine, you bring the jack (& stands?) as my boot will be a little full with backbox(s) and tent etc..
