Do they exist?

Haynes says they do, as in "Get your radiator checked at a Radiator shop.." but I've never seen one, nor heard of one.

Any ideas? I need the rad on the Pan Euro flushed, cleaned and checked for 'workidness'. Very Happy

Well there's two in Glasgow that I know of.

Star Radiators (or something)

And the one that I've used, East End Radiators. (very good and quick service)

My dad mentioned one in Reading the other day when I told him there might have been a leak in my YPVS rad. It was the first I'd heard of it too!! Smile

THe guy who service our central heating boiler's aluminium heat-exchanger poured a pint of ordinary vinegar in it and shook it about then left it a few minutes before flushing it through with tap water. A load of crap came out of that and it's improved the heating no-end. I think the proper stuff to use is formic acid.

Worth a try on a bike rad I guess they aren't much different.
