Water Coming Out From The Bottom Of My Car

[Guest Delboybully]

I park my k-reg cabby on my drive. My drive slops down away from the house and i park my car facing the house. A couple of times recently i have heard the sound of water moving around when i first get in my car after it has been parked up for several days. Today i noticed that liquid had come from under the car somewhere on the drivers side. The liquid is water and not some car fluid.

 

I am guessing that there are drain plugs to allow any water to escape and that the rear one on the drivers side is blocked. Am i right or is this a fault on escorts (in which case i shall have to park my car facing away from the house). If it does sound like a blocked drain plug, can somewhere tell me where it located

hi mate there are drains either side of the back seat, the water from the roof runs that way, i have seen people unblock these by taking the back inner panel off and poking a wire coathanger down there i beleive the holes are right at the bottom of the wheel arch...

i hope this helps

Remove the front inner plastic wheel arch and clean out the muck that accumulates behind it. The mud and leaves I found retained quite a lot of water. Thankfully I got to it before the rust got really bad.
