bloody rad needs flushing ...

Need to give my rad a good flushing, any suggestion???

Have done the rad flush in the car but the centre part of the rad is still blocked! I have now taken it off, just wondered if there is something I can get that will give it a good cleanout. If is doesnt work then I will be binning it!!!

Thanks in advance!!! Les
Series 3 rad by the way if that helps

caustic soda solution works on heaters but dont leave it in all day, just hour or so repeat if req.

How about sulphuric acid you use for drains, I've got a bottle of one shot!

Take it off, fill it with coca-cola, leave for a couple of hours and watch all the **** pour out!

WARNING
If you leave in it too long it rots the joints!

The little ones awake most of the day now and sleeping for about 6 hours at night, so I can start making my presence known again

Sorry, forgot to say shake it around a couple of times after the first hour, which should loosen everything up!

keep safe

Sure thing, have shook it about a bit, might even have a taste

a faulty thermostat can make the rad apear blocked, take it out and run engine up

Hi spunka, took stat out a while ago when started eliminating! At one point though blown head gasket but positive it's the rad.

Ok rad flushed with my favourite drink (kept the JD out though). More crap from rad. Quick run round the block and better but still think I need to change the bloody thing lol
