Anyone had experience of flushing out the radiator on their R33?
I tried doing it earlier tonight but due to me being mentally challenged I couldn't see what I needed to do. And it got too dark to see properly. Ideally I want to give it a proper flush.
From what I can see there is a small hose that goes to the top of the radiator (from the coolant reservoir) that connects to where the cap which says "Do not unscrew when hot" is. Is this the thermostat? Do I disconnect this hose?
I can also see another thick pipe that connects to the radiator near the bottom left of the radiator (driver side of the car) - I'm assuming this is the one I have to unscrew to drain the radiator?
Any help would be gratefully received, I want to flush it out completely tomorrow morning because there's bits of crap in the reservoir.
