    VR 6 heater core flush

    You need to make sure the heater tap is OPEN as you try to flush the heater core via the heater hoses under the bonnet… if it remains blocked then the heater core needs to come out. They normally fail well before they block up. Just check someone hasn’t blocked either of the hoses to stop the...

    Rust in cooling system 304 V8

    When I replaced my heater core recently, I noticed the coolant was slightly rusty coloured (I’m guessing the previous owner just kept toping up the cooling system with water).

    Group C Big Banger Spec Help

    I can’t remember where I got them from now (it was back in 2014), but it was directly out of the states. The USD-AUD was parity at the time, I remember that! I powder coated mine, but most just paint them these days. You’ll need to measure your wheels (diameter & backspace) requirements then let...
