if you think it might be a head gasket - take it down to your mechanic and say youll give him 10 bucks to shove his gas meter in the top of the radiator (im not sure its called a gas meter but anyways:P) if it changes colour then the bubbles have hydrocarbons in em = blown head gasket get a compress...

Well seeing as i've already tried the garden hose and had no result, i guess caustic soda it'll be. If I live to tell the tale with no missing appendages, i'll let you all know how it went :wink: Strangely enough, the engine itself hasn't got crud buildup - only the heater core :crazy: Must act as ...

yer caustic soda just the stuff you want to be playing around with

i told you my idea would work

really simple - disconnect the heater hoses (inside the engine bay) and then hook up a garden hose to one end with a clamp ... turn on your tap and watch all of the junk just float away

and what part of sydney is it in?

western sydney (i believe penrith area) an he wants to sell it as a package.

does the car have an engineering cert???

EDIT not insurance ... engineering cert

this may be a stupid suggestion - but plugs and leads??? - i found that in my swift i had a hige flat spot ... changed plugs and it ran fine

also a couple of cases of beer and a punching bag for when u get frustrated when things go wrong

i do believe coinslot will have something to say about this

its enamel.

and theres only one reason why you would be asking about using yucky yellow again on your car - to do touchups...

the colour code is written on your compliance plate!

coinslot - instead of sanding everything down - goto kmart or whatnot and get yourself the biggest bucket of bog you can find - bog up the dash and then hit it with the bog file - always comes out perfectly smooth
