So whats a good way to flush a system them ? With the rad and stat disconnected a pushed water through with a hose pipe until it ran clear. I noticed this did not remove the covering from the inside of the pipes and presumable the engine.

I've had my 2000 superlight for a a little over a month now. Now I know the car has been looked after well and the service history stamps verify this. One of the first things I noticed while poking about was that the coolant was errrrh brown !

As I was going to replace the stat for a 82 deg anyway now was a good time to do it. I drain the system and all the hoses have a thin brown slime coating the interior. I pushed water through the system until it flowed clean (didn't clean all the hoses) drained again then refilled with the correct coolant. So now he system is filled with purple liquid :o). However after a month of usage it has gone brown again. Not as bad as before, you can still just make out its abit purple but mostly brown. Is this normal ? What is the brown slime?

The engine appears in good health with all temperatures and fluid levels remaining stable.

Does this happen to anyone else ? How long does your coolant usually remain its original colour for ?

am I worrying for nothing and basically just need t give the coolant system a good flushing with something other than just plain water ?

Thanks

I want to replace my carbon dash for a new one as many of the switches etc are no longer used and I'd like to adjust the layout. How the hell is it held on ? I can't see any fixings but its stuck solid. I assume it must be stuck with mastic of something similar. If thats the case, is the only way to remove it fairly destructive ?

Thanks

Anybody....

Where did you guys order the SPA dual gauge and sensors from? I'd like to order from someone who knows exactly all the bits that I will need for a 1600K supersport with apollo.
