Drainage Channel

Just finished cleaning the car together with checking oil etc prior to a trip to Scotland. Removed some Sycamore seeds from the drainage channel and then noticed a trap right next to the bonnet support struts. You just lift a rubber flap and pull out all the muck. Never knew that was there Embarassed
