For the fix in this thread....

Is this still one of the best ways to approach this and if so what is the diameter of the metal pipe i'll probably need? Obviously I could measure said pipe when I uncover it but want to get the metal pipe before attempting the fix as it's my daily and hopefully I can do this over a couple of days off.

 

If there are better fixes, feel free to point me in their direction :)

 

Thanks

it's easy enough to pull the trim off and undo the hose from the top drain and there by check yourself... from memory i think its standard 15mm coper pipe but you'd better check yourself.

 

and don't forget to check the back ones as well.

 

good luck..

Hi, correction... the inside diameter is 10mm.. good luck

 

copper pipe also comes in 10mm.. but you could use anything, not sure a smaller diameter pipe is best, in case it gets blocked..

Cheers Medallion,

 

Luckily I took your advice and measured it myself as I got the pipe before you made the correction lol

 

Anyway I've completed the passenger drain pipe now and it wasn't too bad to be fair, the pipe had shrunk about an inch.

 

 

 

It now drains as it should, tried to upload a video but no success as yet :/

Cable ties weren't necessary on the copper pipe section but I have 100's so got carried away :)

good thinking and nice work.. :)
