And you definitely have to remove/seal up this drain ?

No you dont have to seal the drain, as its just that however some do some dont. Definatly seal the joints though.

Sikaflex is better than Tigerseal, which isn't very resistant to chemicals or petrol, I speak from experience!

The best stuff, if you never intend to remove it is Sikaflex, its a boat sealant and cures from moisture (ideal for a landy) - bear in mind though its more than just a sealant, it kinds bonds it all as well, is VERY flexible and pretty much the mutts nuts!

remove it, do you have any idea how stong that stuff is ?
as a demo 4 a customer we stikaflexed a old scrap consol to our works floor, left it 2 days 2 set properly and then using my landy removed it by means of a epi9
it didnt break the stikaflex, it broke the console and left the basestill stuck :shock:
never mind pop rivets, stikaflex ya landy gether, itll be sronger :shock:

also seal all the joints on the air box tube joints (on 200-300TDI) as the factory pressings are a PP finish and leak like a sieve.
easy to check with a bright light looking up close.
