Isn't it, though? I saw it in person the other day and was well impressed. Bet you're glad you sorted the heaters, hey Pete?

Re: Post your snow pics here Too right! I gave the whole system another flush for good measure yesterday and they’re positively toasty now. The frostbite on my nose still hasn’t gone from driving it to the MOT though

Re: Post your snow pics here Completely blocked matrix, I had nothing to lose so I connected a hose to it and hit it with full mains pressure! after about 30 seconds the blockage started to pass and after all the rad weld/crud had stopped coming out I back flushed it and connected it back in.
This worked quite well, but they were still only lukewarm, and seemed to get worse when the stat opened.
So I bought some Wynns coolant flush and ran that through it for the day, followed by another thorough flush of the matrix and radiator. They're pretty much what I would expect now, and I haven't heard the fans kick in since either.

Re: Post your snow pics here Ugh... Stop! I'm proper jealous, and whilst it has *just* dropped below freezing Daaan Saaaf, the closest we've had to snow is very, very cold drizzle.
