Not having any livestock to hand, I replaced the thermostat. When testing the engine at idle I noticed there's a cold area on the rad I hadn't noticed before. Fan turned on fine - but the cold area is exactly where the fan is! Is it worth trying to flush the rad or is that a waste of time? |

Any time spent on bonding with your car is time well spent!=)

LOL! Very true - I need to repair the relationship as well as the radiator! I might give it a go. As half the rad is hot and half cold I can only guess the blockage is not in the individual tiny tubes. |

Final update on this...
Attempted to flush rad, all directions, used descaler. Complete waste of time (apart from the bonding!). New rad bought, works great |
