I'll give the whole story, it doesn't really add anything to the question, but as anyone who's read my garage build thread knows - I like to add all the details
I've just bought a Jeep Cherokee from ebay, it had a cracked exhaust manifold (which I knew about, along with a few other faults), so that's all removed and welded up now. With the manifolds off, I noticed that a couple of core plugs were weeping slightly, so they've been removed ready to be replaced. Incidentally, one of my local motor factors is useless, he reckons that I'll need to go to the main dealer to get core plugs....
When I knocked the plugs out, a fairly grim brown liquid gushed out. This to me means there is corrosion in the system, and rather than just fill it up straight away with coolant, I'd much rather clean it first.
So the question is, what's the best way to flush the system? I'm sure in the past I've seen various cooling system flushes in Halfrauds and the like, but do any of them work? Or is there a better way of doing it?
Ta!
And here's a couple of pics of the Jeep, on my drive and snuggled up in my garage
