Yeah the problem is, the white half pipe isn't secured, so I'd still be concerned that it could shift downwards e.g. kicked, heavy storm, wind etc. and the water would still flow back against the wall. So I think I'll go with my original solution.
Hmm this is a good point. There were many leaves in the gutters that we removed and also many leaves in the downpipe. I was able to push a long twig down the pipe and out the bottom to remove all the leaves. This won't be possible when I connect a bend and pipe at the bottom. Perhaps there are solutions to prevent leaves going in to the down pipe. E.g. cut the over hanging trees, or a guard of somesort.
The existing pipe is zink, so I think I will just use zink for the new parts, unless there is a good reason to use plastic instead?
