Arjan Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 We use the Kärcher and some extra garden hose to try and blow out the rubbish.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 You can use a drain cleaning attachment for the pressure washer. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Mo This ^^^ would be perfect for the job I've got one not used it on a chassis mind but it should work well. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B reg 90 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 This is what I did for a series one chassis. Also used to use on my 90 after off raiding. Get some copper heating pipe to match your hose pipe diameter. close off one end(crimp/solder). drill 2mm holes in pipe sides, 90 degrees appear, 3 or 4 rows of holes along pipe, stagger holes. Put a small nail in each hole in turn and leaver nail towards open end of copper pipe. It will make the water jets face backwards at roughly 45 degrees. put your now holed copper pipe in end if your hose, jubilee clip on. Stick the contraption into a chassis rail and turn on the water. Assuming the water pressure is good enough the water jets will 'suspend' the copper pipe and tend to draw it along chassis. Push to end and slowly withdraw and u will wash all the dirt towards u. If necessary add extra drain holes in chassis. It will remove a lot of material adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
