Finally got around to sorting out the rubber "duck bill" plenum bung that has caused so many people to have flooded passenger footwells, and electrical problems. So here goes:
1. Remove the battery and plenum cover (if you have one). You will see the plastic battery tray:
2. Remove the plastic battery tray by undoing the 2 silver coloured 13mm nuts, to reveal the bulkhead underneath. You can now now see one of the almost egg shaped rubber blighters (mine is shown already modified). Yes - I did say ONE of - there is another one under the brake servo that you cant completely remove due the the cable/tube running through it. But you can clean it out:
3. Now carry out a bit of surgery on the duck bill. I cut the base off with a scalpel, and it really was blocked up with "crud". Before and after shots:
Put it all back together and hopefully never have the dreaded plenum flood problem ! I look forward to another 6 years of happy motoring.
