Hi,
I need some help with my radiator, the water is pretty dirty. I think I might go to my parents tomorrow and try to flush the system but have anyone else had this problem? The brown stuf is not hard, rather like soft mud or wet sand. No samll stones or anything. Any ideas of what it is and why it is there and what to do?
