I have cleaned everything up and it is back together but altering a few things first before I have finished.
But think before I put anti freeze in I will put some Forte Flush into the coolant system then drop it all out and rinse before anti freeze eventually goes in :y

I'm guessing that car has seen poor coolant servicing over its lifetime. Actually, NO coolant servicing ;D


Is it a 1998 3.0 model by any chance?

I told you not to use that dodgy perming stuff you eventually dumped in the Trent as antifreeze. ;D
