M_V-
Ah right, see you what you're saying now... Well initially the blockage looked like it was just by the entrance of the cable exit, I could see it was just plastic and freed quite a long chunk of plastic, but the remaining blockage was only two inches down and felt/looked like plastic. As it wouldn't shift I figured drilling carefully would be fine, and I've got a compact drill. Doing that did shift more plastic, but there's clearly more further down the tube. If I can't make this flexible drill bit thing I'll just hand it over to Winston Vaz.

Sticking a spoke from the end nearer the blockage did move it fractionally, but the spoke's not long enough to push from the far end. Yeah a drill is the way forward but my drill bits aren't long enough and the curve in the internal cable routing tube would stop me from reaching the blockage anyway. I did find a video online on how to make a long flexible drill bit but sourcing suitable bendy cable for the shaft seems tricky.... Not giving up though!
