Engine bay debris....
Just sorted out the "drain" for the rear of the engine bay / inner wing on the father in laws 208....
As a tip it's visible through oval appetures at the rear of each wing when looking into the engine bay...
Seems designed to allow all the crap from the screen to fall in and get caught there....
There is a rubber drain grommet at the base of the front sill but the appetures are son small that they block very easily..
To clean easily undo the two 10mm fasters holding the wheel arch liners into the body at the base and rear most end under the sill... Pull the liner down then forward and all the collected crap behind the front wheel will be evident..
A hose pipe in from the top via the engine bay oval holes and then directly onto the back of the liners gets it all out..
I fished out two handfuls of sludge mud leaves and even a coke bottle label!!!
For the 20mins it took and how filthy it was I thought others may want to check theirs...
