Flush the system out severall times. Use a good detergent of some sort. Some on here recommend the product that Forte make especially for the job. When I did mine I found neat Traffic Film Remover from Machine Mart does the job (after advice from someone else on here) and is much cheaper! :y

Having done the job recently I could help out too.  I am currently away from home mon - fri lunchtime but I could pop up one evening in return for a homecooked meal as I am in South Dorset.  I could replace the oil cooler and then show you how to flush the coolant (needs about 20+ flushes)

Drop me a PM or see if DLK is doing any work in your area soon...

I am pretty new to this site so how do i go about getting a trade card?

Or is there someone near me (Swindon) who can get hold of it for me?

Also when flushing the system out do i simply use normal water along with a coolant flush?

Chris

PM Entwood... He may be able to help ;) ;)

What gave that away ::) ::) ::)

Got to the bottom of the page and didn't realise there was another page :-[ :-[ :-[

Been a long day! I was still awake at about 0200 and got up for work at 0520... Then 12 hour shift :( :(

That's my excuse anyway ;D ;D

Know how you feel, shift work wrecks sleep patterns which leaves you in a state of appearing to be awake but the brain isnt in full agreement.  ;)
If I didnt do shiftwork I could teach Stephen Hawking a thing or two. :y
