if your front rad was bad wait till you check the rear heater matrix by pulling the pipes off and flushing with a hose pipe, most of the heavy particles settle at the lowest point---------------the rear heater, and pipes to and from it.

At least £200 has got you almost back to what it was like 17 years ago :wink:
