Not sure to be honest TB, its just brown! I'd expect it to be still abit blueish after 4 months?

The blue stuff is shite. Use VX red. Much better and cheap as chips with a trade card.

have you checked the bearings in your climate compressor if they're seized could be drawing too much power or if the system is overgassed?? don't know enough about them really but if you've replaced all the other bits i'd be looking in that direction

So today I flushed, flushed, flushed again and more brown stuff came out I also did the heater matrix which was totally blocked!!  I filled it up again with clean water and another bottle of Speedflush, took it for a 30 mile run and I've now got heating  8-) and it didn't get hot. WooHoo!!!

I'll flush it again a couple of times tomorrow before putting the new coolant in.

Many Thanks for all the advice

I would be inclined to do a couple of quick flushes over weekend, then get it at a 50:50 mix, then reflush it again in 1000 miles or so, repeating if necessary.


GM Red is my preferred. Dirt cheap and good. Goes in the Omegas, the Rover, and the Kawasaki

Thanks TB.  I think the oil cooler will be the next job in the near future, as I reckon thats where all the crud was coming from and front oil cooler pipe was leaking.  So it'll get another good flushing then. I'll have to get a trade card.  Cheers
