That is spare jimny and 2 years of muck. Temeraire is tomorrow probably and I'm expecting much worse.

The bit that really worried me was the rubber flap shown in the first picture, just below the hanging bulb in your photo. This is all that stops water and mud from entering the rear of the car on the inside of the wheel arches. I expected to see a grommet to keep the water, mud and vermin out, but perhaps the bumper has a close enough seal with the plastic wheel arch to keep most things out?

The purpose of that flap is to release cabin pressure when you shut the doors. If you completely seal the cabin then it takes a surprisingly hard swing to shut the doors.

Thanks for the explanation Busta, I wondered what the flap was there for.

Jackonly last time my bumper was off I did look under the flap and it was relatively clean inside yet filthy on the outside, so I guess it works and I am worrying too much.

Lambert what was yours like inside the flap?

I bought an angled tip for my pressure washer. It was cheap for the karcher.
I can reach many nooks and crannies but still there is allways more danish mud..

It wasn't too bad but in order to unplug the rear lights you have to take the loom bung out of the bottom so it got washed out anyway.
