I have a problem ( nothing new there then) but this one is proving quite a challenge.
The overflow in my Opal rad is choked up and the system is now working as an over enthusiastic pressure cooker.
I’ve taken the rad off and tried poking out the carbonate with wire and a piece of speedo cable in a a drill but to no avail. Just won’t go round the corners.
This may be a problem experienced by others and I should really appreciate suggestions.
Also, when I do get the pipe cleared, is there an additive to prevent the same reoccurring?
I do use softened water when topping up which must help but doesn’t prevent the problem.
Ps — getting the car bonnet off was a lot easier.
