...on the S so water isn't draining out of the run around the boot.

I've tried the usual coat-hanger to unblock, but three foot in from the top or one foot in from the bottom doesn't unblock anything. I've tried disconnecting the hose from the top and blowing - but it won't budge and I've run out of puff! Any other tips or is it truly and a pro job?

It could be that the hose is not blocked but has split. For some reason I found it really difficult to blow through mine but when I checked further it had split just where it goes through the floor of the boot. Quick trip to a local DIY store and a bit of help from Podie :thumpup: saw it sorted. Couldn't get the new hose to follow the same route as the old one but its close enough. Worth getting some silicone sealant once the new hose is in place..
