About how long would this cleaning take?? looks like a good idea but a bit complicated.. Snigger "Dude don't even worry. The water is only about a foot deep."

Its easy - but the amount of time depends on how dirty the radiator and intercooler is...

It took me a few hours on a couple of occasions to really clean it out.

And the intercooler is a bit more difficult to get to without taking off the front bumper. But you can get to most of it from underneath. The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Thanks. Thumbs Up LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Washing? Pah, so over-rated. When I saw the state of the rad & intercooler I (well Guava) changed them both and never went near mud again.

Mind you, might have to wash my present set of wheels as it’s been parked up under a tree for nearly 6 months. Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry
