I also thought of using a drain cleaning nozzle for a pressure washer to get right in to a chassis . You will need to protect with cavity wax after it is dry. |

i tried doing that but its almost impossible. It kept getting hung up on internal brackets etc within the rails. Pointless exercise.

I jacked the backup really high, and used some 8mm tube adapted to a garden hose and ran that through - came out of the front jacking plugs, the sheer quantity of red Spanish dust that came out was amazing for a 18month old car. left to dry for a week then pickled in Dinitrol.
good luck! |

Thanks. I did a bit of googling after posting this and have ordered a drain jetter for my karcher - worth a trym but if no luck I will rig up a small bore tube to the hosepipe

I washed out a couple of chassis on older models a few years ago and used normal hose on some easily accessed areas and adaptors to take my pressure washer fittings to 6mm pneumatic line to access the more difficult/smaller/awkward areas.
It worked a treat but was fairly stripped down so getting at it was definitely easier than on a fully built up vehicle as lifted it around with an engine hoist and on ramps etc |
