Sunroof drain tubes

Ok so this morning I came out to the car and noticed the pax footwell a bit damp. Quickly tracked it down to the pax side sunroof drain. I've tried boiling water, strummer wire, the usual but can get any more than 10cm down the holes on either the pax or drivers side. The drivers side is clear and runs free. Has anyone tried a drain unblocked like mr muscle? Does anyone have a picture of the routing to try and help with prodding stuff down there? Are there any one way valves and if so where? What are the drains made out of? [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

One trick that I have used on blocked pipes, is to put a flexible cable, like a bowden cable in a drill. Then, on low rpm's, let it dig through the blockage. Bend the tip on the cable for better efficiency. ----------

Sorted the drain today. Took all of 2 mins as well. The drain comes out about middle of the door, in a rubber cone. I couldn't manage to feed anything from the top to bottom so started at the bottom. Used a bike cable to start at the bottom. Pulled the valve out of the chassis and within a few wiggles had water pouring out. Used some bleach and boiling water to flush and runs like a gooden now. Will post pics later to show exit points.

There under the car. About middle of the door. You can see a recess where the brake lines and fuel lines run. It's in the recess there. One either side of the car.

Edit: the left side of the pic is the left chassis section. If that helps locate it. Also nothing needs to be removed to gain access. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]
