Very nice clubman estate you got there!

[matthew_leech]

here it all together and running but...........


i cant drain out the water.

there is no drain on the radiator, just on the back of block, even with the engine running no water comes out?

why cant i flush the water out??

Any ideas?

[benjy_18]

just undo the bottom hose of the rad, it will flush itself out. refil with water (hose it through for a few minutes) run it for a bit then keep repeating till your happy with the cleanliness of the water. dont forget anti freeze obviously

my problem is numpty who i bought this from put jubilie clip on upside down, i cant undo it?

[benjy_18]

you should be able to cut it off with a pair of side-cuttters, then i would replace it once youve done the flush.

[matthew_leech]

its only a year old, n being used for like 5 months, it doesnt need replacing or it would be cut up already!

[benjy_18]

for the sake of 50p for a jubilee clip?

[matthew_leech]

i thought you meant replace the pipe :s my bad, ive got endless jubilee clips thats not a problem!
