    Default Water in heater box EL Falcon

    Where is the drain for the heater box in a EL Falcon.
    There is a sloshing sound when turn corners etc so looks like the drain is blocked.

    Need to unplug the drain as such. Just looking where the heater is there doesn't seem an easy way in from the dash.

    Thoughts?

    probably condensation from the air con.

    have a look under the car and you will see a rubber drain pipe coming out of the firewall area.

    blow into it and it should unblock and drain the water.

    check for mud/insects etc. in the end first....

    Yeah hoe is spot on.

    Passenger side from inside the engine bay, pretty down low on your firewall.

    Sure you heater radiator isnt leaking. Is your radiator water level dropping?

    you might find that the matting on the flywall is actually preventing the overflow from draining out.this usally happens with age or previous work.its not a rubber pipe but a plastic pipe about 30mm long,just push on matting to locate pipe then cut around matting to allow pipe to petrude,watch out you might get wet!
