Hey chaps at AULRO.
merry xmas and happy NY to you all.

There seems to be a little bit of water accumilating in the drivers side footwell. drains seem to flow, but access to the LHS one (mirrored from RHS in intake grille) is very hard to get to and it looks like (after clearing the leaves and stuff from the bottom) the tube has fallen inside the cavity which is a pain in the bottom as i cant bend my hand in tight enough. Can you access it from the inside without pulling the whole dash apart, or is removing the front fender an option?

Or am I totally screwed?

looks like I may be in trouble.

Any tips on how to remove the front LHS 1/4 panel (fender). The internet has removal instructions for just about everything else on the disco3 other than this. There are afew visible torx bolts on top which look easy to accsess, but Im more interested in the other sneaky hidden ones.

i fixed mine without qtr removing panel.
just took off the wheel flare / arch and the inside of arch plastic trim.
dropped roof / interior a bit to get at it.
used an oil pump like what you fill your diffs up with to blow the gunk though.
actually, to be honest, i don't think you have to pull the lower trim and stuff off.
Just connect something to the top and blow.
But i could be wrong only done it once, got a good result though.

Hey there thanks for reply. Only problem is the tube that comes out had either dislodged or decintigrated. I can clean out with either compressed air or high pressure nitrogen but it seems the elbow with the 1 way valve is the culprit.
