    Hi all.

    Anyone know how to clear rain water that accumulates under floor passenger side during heavy rain? It sloshes around when I take a corner. Hasn't started yet this winter, but bound to re-occur soon.

    I've checked You Tube and there is a way to clear rain-drainage system, but the Magane is such a nightmare of a car to change lights etc, and I cant figure out where there is a blockage and how to free it. Any ideas or links?

    Thanks

    Leaves etc gather where the windscreen meets the body of the car,under the plastic part by the wipers,needs to be cleaned occasionally,other than that under the door there's normally drainage holes ,stick a screwdriver in and clean the muck out,good luck,ps check the windscreen on that side, maybe needs sealed

    Mk II? There is a bendy rubber drainage hose that connects the bulkhead to the passenger side wheel arch. If you look at the back of the gearbox you should see it. I think its behind the linkage arms. I ripped it out got thick at the french and fired it in the bin.

    Sweet Lord! Leaving French engineering to one side for now, what about You Tube!

    2 Videos.

    First guy 15 minutes, makes me want to start taking a bike to work.

    Second video, under 2 minutes, restoring my faith in human sensibility.
