Omega General Help / poor heat from heater

« on: 28 February 2011, 18:03:31 »

may answer my own question , as there has been a flush of my coolent system by previus owner im guessing that heater matrix is bunged up as rad is clear and eng temp is spot on , what kind of flush would you guys rekomend or should i just fit new heater matrix, and i hope its not as hard to do as a range rover .
