The flushing agent needs to stay in until flushed out with clean water, hence leaving the hose running for half an hour or more once the water runs clean from the rad top hose stub. Follow the procedure as laid out and you won't have any problems.

Job done, all seems to be fine. I took it for a good drive and no obvious leaks or anything disturbing, stat works fine, now parked facing up a slight incline ready for any topping up (the level dropped slightly on the run, but still within the guides).
Thank you!!! |

Great news Chris! Like Alan mentioned earlier, as time goes by and you learn things, you'll be the one giving the advice and wondering why you were worried at this stage.
Besides the knowledge which you're gaining fast, it's only confidence holding you back from trying new things and unless i'm mistaken, your confidence should be growing by now and well done you for giving things a try!

Morning all!
Got delayed the past week by a bug - went for a test Saturday, negative result through Sunday, bit of a relief! Anyway, we've just sprayed nuts ready for the various ball joint changes, all parts here and raring to go this weekend, all being well. In the meantime, we want to spray the nuts allowing us to change the headlamp reflectors and hopefully get one housing straightened up (see second pic - larger gap between the lamp and bonnet on the right, we've measured and it's pretty clear the housing position's at fault - tho the bonnet that side is also slightly up in relation to the wing). Am I right thinking that to remove the headlamp and housing we need to undo the nut behind the plastic covers, as in No 1 in the first pic? And No 2 is for alignment? If so, how come there's a plastic cover on the nut?! Thanks, C |

The right hand headlamp looks fine to me Chris :
The left one looks like it's dropped a fair bit though, #2 in your pic is an adjuster for the alignment and no idea why those aftermarket-looking covers are on the threads. Presumably someones attempt at protecting the thread from rusting. I'd completely remove the left hand indicator/sidelight before trying to move the headlamp up though and then refit it afterwards once you've loosened the mounting nuts and pushed the headlamp up and tightened the nuts again.
