That blue radiator drain plug, i touched the one on my X5 and it fell off. Mechanic obviously sheered it off but then just glued head back on. So had to delay my coolant change till i bought a new one !! Further confirmation why i try and do all work on my cars myself !! Thanx again for entertaining us !!

It was like something was stuck in this, no water came out until about 30 seconds after I’d taken the shitter out. I put the torch on my phone to have a butchers, just as I got it underneath it the bitch squirted all over me 🤷♀️

I remember doing a 'coolant flush' using washing up liquid once of one of my mates shitboxes. We think it had oil in the coolant from a previous head gasket problem so it needed some 'degreasing'. Worked really well actually better than expected had to flush out with tap water a few times though.

I’ve heard it works pretty well, but dishwasher tablets are supposed to be the best for it.

Personally I would’ve mixed the coolant/water. To my cost - on a very cold morning I just added neat coolant - took about 5 miles before the hose on the underside of the car blew off - emptying the lot in seconds. Stopped fairly quickly - recovery bloke towed us to services and fixed pipe back on. Think it did damage head gasket - as I had to keep topping up with water. Got some head gasket stuff & put into radiator. Think it helped but I’ll know when I get it running / through mot as sat in garden 5 years

Ideally yea, but it will mix itself quickly enough. I think yours had other issues to blow the hose off though 🤔

An idea for a future Citybug video ... I get MOT advisories on my 09 C1 for 1.1.11(c) "Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material Nearside/Offside rear" randomly some years and not others depending on the tester 😂🤣😂 Not fixed yet after 5 years but probably should do soon lol.

Pretty sure same thing has been on my list of advisories for the past however long I’ve had it iirc 🤔

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Googled it and that is a "no". Isopropyl akyhol is best suited to de-icer and antifreeze. Too much akihol. "Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to reduce the chilly point of the liquid." So basically its blended not single malt. :)
