So had the car outside this afternoon and its absolutly wanged it down,checked the sunroof drainage nipples which are now doin what they are meant to do
(clearing them out was DISGUSTING!  :sick: smelt like a public toilet thats not been cleaned for 16 years  :sick: loads and loads of musty dirt!
gonna leave the car out tnite as im thinking its gonna rain again and ill let you know tmmorow,might just be worth you guys checking ya drainage nipples aswell coz trust me the amout of water in my car this morning was ridiculous  :shocked:
