One of the jobs on my list is to get the front rads cleared - bumper off job. Today I took advantage of warmish weather and went for a blast knowing I could clean her up afterwards. For Christmas I got a car dryer so I could get rid off as much water as possible before garaging under cover. As I cleaned the front loads of crap came out of the front vents - assume it will still need doing properly but was quite pleased!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The crap gets in between the radiator and the air con condenser, so the best way is to take off the front PU bumper. Be aware that many of the screws and clip nuts will need replacing, so I suggest buy a few of each before you start. Also get a can of wax oil or bolt hammer Dynax and coat all bare metal )"(not the rads or condensers obviously) while the PU IS OFF.

You could win the Turner prize with that!
holy crap! I thought mine were bad. Although, to be fair, they were falling apart :x
and fit some mesh over the vents to stop it happening again....
