What a good idea TH :y :y. At the moment I'm trying to locate their exit holes, which is not as easy as it sounds. They produce huge piles of earth but leave virtually no evidence of the hole that it came from. Then, I shove the hose down (what I believe to be their tunnel) and turn it on......No success to date.... :-/ :-/ :-/

Opti, be careful when tightening the drain plug. They don't need to be that tight and twist off if you get abit heavy handed..... as I found out...  :-[ :-[ :-[

Over tightening the drain tap won't help it seal any better. It seals via the 2 O rings so, like the oil filter cap, you're only tightening it enough to prevent it from rattling loose in use.  :y
