once we took the rad off the car and I tried to blow the water out, I knew for cert it was as blocked as a blocked thing that wasn't free flowing!

Pleased it's sorted for you :y

water pump change was still a good call. I didn't like your old one :y

Not sure yet james , ive topped it up once since you went as the level sensor came on . Took it for a 20 mile run in traffic jams and so on and the car is keeping its cool ....not even hot enough for the engine fan to kick in so all is good  :y :y :y :y


I have put the blocked rad in soak with de-scaler to see what gunk comes out of it if any , then blow through like you did to see if its cleared . Will do as a back up rad  :y

How old is the new rad, that is blocked, as you could get it replaced under warranty due to it failing and as you were unaware that this was the problem. If the rad is under a year old then it's under warranty and you should either get your money back or a replacement.
