It is next to gear box driver side level with the gear stick its a 10mm size pipe with a pointy end . . They do block give it a good pinch that normally helps move things along .

There's actually one on each side.... If you lie down underneath and put your hand up between the bell housing and the tunnel you'll find them. Be prepared for a sleeve full of mucky water.

I just threw the rubber things away as I don't do any deep wading. And if you have an auto it's helpful to install a bit of piping to direct the water away from the XYZ switch.

Mine was doing same thing. It was these rubber drain things as mentioned, they just collect dust or something and block. One of mine i removed to unblock and still haven't got round to putting it back.

when you say install a bit of rubber piping do you know how to get to the bit at the top in the engine bay and wherethey are ?

As I mentioned, just reach up between the bell housing and the tunnel and you'll find them. I just used a bit of plastic tubing I had lying about and cable tied it to the chassis leg.
