Found at last syringe & tubing for cleaning drain holes

Tubing is a tight fit into front drain holes

Been looking for something like this! I use an old shampoo bottle, does an ok job but could be bettered.

Are you still looking for Davenport wheels and tyres? I have some new ones, and i live in Bakwell - so nice and close to you for collection?

How much are you asking for the wheels. What tyres do they have on?

I use a similar syringe, no tubing, just held against the drain hole. I’ve not needed to clear a blockage, but this has worked so far for preventive maintenance.

This works well, I can do all four drains with one fill of detergent and water:

Best to practice over sink first, needs quite a firm trigger pull.

Bridgestone Turanza 235/55 R17 ER500 fitted to Davenport VW wheels.
Tyres and wheels are delivery miles only (10's of miles i guess)
I was thinking £500 would be a fair price?

Look to be around 600 - 750 on ebay for the "new" Davenport wheels and tyres.

As a newbie owner, are these drain holes something I should be aware of?

Search the forum, there’s various threads. Better to do a bit of preventive maintenance now and again (gently flush them through to check they’re clear) than have to deal with blocked pipes. Be gentle because if the pipes detach internally, I believe it’s a difficult job to sort out.
