sapphire1616 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Going around a left hand bend today I felt cold water flow onto my left foot. Is it likely to be a blocked drain? If so, which one is it and is it easy to get to? Guidance would be most welcomed please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 But if you stop the flow of water, surely the fish tank will run dry? What will happen to the fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Maybe the fish were trying to drive the tank. Er, I mean car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveP Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 My A6 had a blocked drain hole under the battery which then meant going round bends the water would come through the pollen filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire1616 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Sorry to drag this out but it is not a job I could tackle myself, for many reasons. Does anyone have an idea of what an 'indie' would charge me to do this job. Just a rough idea would be useful please. I promise the fish will be well looked after.......chips!

cruiser647 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Not a clue, but probably a few hours work to clear the holes. Longer to dry the carpets. My indie charges £66 p/h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire1616 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks for your thoughts on it. Have to sit and have a think as to if I dare start to have a go at clearing the holes. Not really on my top of the list priorities now. Thanks again. Hope you all had a super Christmas. sapphire1616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
