Why on earth take it to a dealer for a flush. They won't do as good a job as you would...

No, seriously Deano, why take it to VX for a flush?. They'll charge you good money for something you could easily do yourself and, as its your car, you'll do it more conscienciously than they will.

They will just empty the rad and top up - exactly the same as you can do in 10 mins. The key is that it needs to be done regular.  Have a word with Laidback66 (username = Admin) who is in Derby and may be able to get you Vx Red antifreeze very cheap ;)

Indeed I may... ;)

Also I'd be b*ggered if I would take the car to Vx to be "flushed".

Do it yourself, it is both easy, and a heck of a lot cheaper, and you will do it better!

I'm sure if you don't know how to flush it, Laidback66 will drink your tea whilst pointing at the expansion tank and the drain tap ;D

It not costing you anything means they're even less likely to do it properly :(

Hi, as you may of read on the forum, it takes quite a few flushes to get rid of the oil out of the water, but i do believe even I could do it so it isn't that hard mate, save yourself a few quid and put it in the fuel tank :y
