mickeyw Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 There seem to be plenty of rad flush type products to choose from, Wurth, Holts, Wynns to name a few. Some are suitable for ally engines, and some not. Having read a few scare stories re rad flushing I thought I would seek a few opinions What I'm looking for a product that is V8 friendly, so what does the LR4x4 collective favour? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA If your radiator has hot & cold spots & you have overheating problems with no other apparent cause then it is likely that it is blocked internally. Give it a flush by all means, if you can get the Forte products they are the ones to go for, but the only real way to solve this problem is a new radiator. Don't be tempted by a used one as it may be no better than the old one. I replaced the one on my RRC about 18 months ago & the weight difference was quite surprising!

Bush65 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 IMHO, flushing of the cross flow radiators used in Land Rovers is not very successful. The best solution is to have both tanks removed so the core can be cleaned properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
