Coolant Flush

Ok, Just a quick one, no photos

After working on the motor, i found the coolant discouloured, so a radiator flush was in order. It pelted down with rain, i was saturated as the water puddled under the car, flushing the system itself was pretty easy.

the biggest gripe was the "quick release" heater hose to flush the system. What a joke, it is not easy to undo with your hand, and there is not enough space with pliers. That took the most time.

Now the system is flushed, the engine doesnt seem to have any oil leaks. I am probably going to need to do a full overhaul with thermostat, hoses, radiator and whilst i am there i will change the auto trans filter.

big job that will definatley wait for a free weekend and with sunshine
