General Discussion Area / Re: Radiators and cooling process

« on: 20 May 2007, 18:15:12 »

appreciate the help Jamie  

...but the problem is nothing messy is coming out - im draining it straight into a little plastic tub underneath and examining the contents....and its clear water or coolant ( which ever ive put in that particular flush)

...which makes me think theres such a bad block the water is " diverting"

Just gonna persevere like you say untill a better idea comes along....this is harder than the cooler rebuild... :-/

You possible do need to get it to stat opening temp, else you are only flushing rad and expansion bottle

aye, actualy your quite correct..so the point whereby running with expansion cap off and i get that surge complete with some gunk....i presume thats the thermostat opening? i think running it like that would be best as running it on a closed circuit is causing hoses to blow off.......trust me i got covered when it happened

Yup, and as I said, remove all hoses and clean manually once you have done a few times.

Also, if you are only going to run for a minutes or 2, screenwash

(Beware, screenwash is highly flammable!).

As with any chemical, thoroughly flush afterwards.


Once you get a lot out, Forte do a special coolant cleaner designed for the aftermath of an oil cooler failure.  I haven't used it, but the standard Forte coolant cleaner is quite impressive.

Put in some greaser and flush through. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat etc. Each time should shift more and more.

Also, anything you can remove and clean on its own will help, even if you have to keep removing same bits over and over to reclean...

General Discussion Area / Re: Off to Greece then MOT

« on: 20 May 2007, 11:09:09 »

Off ot Greece tonight for a week for a much needed break and to get a tan ready for the lakes meet as i dont want to be the only one there looking deathly white Then when i get home it's MOT time for the meega, dont think there will be too much wrong but do suspect a steering joint somewhere as it has started to feel a little vague at times but at a 160,000mls guess there will be the odd thing to do but in general shes in good shape so fingers crossed. Cheers, Jez

Whereabouts are you going? I can give you a tip or two. BE CAREFULL the sun bites between 11.00-3.30. Don't eat where the rest of the turists eat instead ask the locals.
Enjoy

Excellent advice. Keep out of afternoon sun, it will burn you very quickly, even with sunblock on. And the tourist 'tavernas' are usually overpriced for lower quality food. The real places where the locals eat will be much, much cheaper, better service (though may struggle with language), and a far better atmosphere imho.

Enjoy you're break

Remember, the whole point of the lakes was to meet the Scots. They don't get daylight up there, so they will be ghostly white

Soliciting for OOF at the CM forum..?

Well done AA!  

And, on top of that, providing links back to us, so when Google trawls that site, it increases our PageRank (basically our importance, hence position in their index)

So it makes no difference? 4 and 6 or 5 and 6?

Makes no difference at all, assuming both have decent 0v connections.

Dam....I was hoping for hot and wet.....

You're in a rare mood tonight.  

I'll probably have to remind you in the morning that you promised to do a full service on my miggy, including changing the flux capacitor.  

Nah, he promised a complete engine stripdown and rebuild on my tractor first

Don't you mean autobox, or is it a 2 fer?  

Nah, engine. The box will be sorted by LB66 and myself when he's feeling a bit better....
