   Hello all
   
   Ive got a saxo v reg and recently noticed a fair bit of water in the passenger side. Asked here and they suggested it could be the sunroof drain pipes. Found the left hand side drain pipe was blocked and managed to remove as much as i could from it but i cant get anymore out. I've used about a meter long coil to remove most of it then tried a foot pump to blast the remainder, but its still blocked. Any ideas on what I could try next?

   When mine were blocked on my old 306 I used a compressor and blasted it out. A thin bit of wire (thick enough to push) should clear out some. Not sure if some kind of unblocker substance would harm the pipe itself. Someone else might know more about this.

   i went to a petrol station with the ye'olden day style tyre inflators and gave it a blast with that. Just an idea if you don't have your own compressor!
