I normally do rad, then fill system up with water, start and rev to flow water and then drain again before water gets too hot and do that 3 or 4 times or until the water runs clear, hence why I get so wet
Not sure what the reverse flush is though.
Is that not the definition of "being anal"
Least you know its done and clean though.

Hope I'm not crossing the line, but is that not feltching

, Yea, shove that high pressure line up the pipe towards the pump also

No Jon, that would be "giving anal"

Congrats Jon, 10,000 posts is an awful lot of speed reading old mate!!!
ps. there is something very satisfying about flushing out the rad! Enjoy it Craig! Must do mine at some point.

Lol. For me it's getting lots of water everywhere and the neighbours looking and thinking I know what I'm doing :devil:

Discs and pads fitted today, also looked over rear brakes which appear fine.
Fitted Cinq steering wheel but had problems getting horn to work. Any tips here? I have probably the last steering wheel ever fitted to a UK Panda - the horn mechanism is actually secured by back fixing screws which earth the whole set up.
Put Panda steering wheel back for now pending thoughts / comments from our resident experts...

Could be a few things. I supose the obvious thing is fuse? But I think there are other things on the same circuit so it would be more aparant.
Check the spring contacts are ok and actually do contact! they can get bent down. I had that when I replaced my steering wheel.
If that looks alright then it will probably be a problem horn end! They are behind the front bumper on the passenger side. I think you will need to remove the bumper to get to it unfortunately. Unless you can reach it from the engine bay on a mk2?
I had horn trouble once (no pun intended) and found it was the contacts had corroded. May need just a good clean or at worst new horn which is a few quid off fleabay!
Hope this helps,
Si

According to my Haynes manual, models from 86 on - the horn is 'earth switched' by cable coded HN (grey/black) from horn to instrument panel. Feed is from terminal 3 on fusebox (also feeds rad. cooling fan) with cable colour coded Z (violet)
So try earthing either side of contacts on steering column - if this don't complete circuit (sound horn) - try and find that grey/black cable - earthing this should complete circuit - if not you will need to get to horn - test lamp between violet and earth (body) should light lamp (or show 12v on multimeter) - earthing other contact should sound earth (not tag strictly, but contact).
As Si above you may find contacts corroded (it's not in a good place up behind bumper!)
(On my 1000's the contacts were badly rusted away but I found enough to solder tag back to, which solved problem)
Yours is newer (94?) and so more likely just problem with contacts on horn push. Check that you've not pushed them further down column as I seem to remember something like this with the CLX when I had steering wheel off... but it's a while back now,
hope this helps,
cheers

I'm sure its going to be the prings on the horn push.
Mine didnt work when i fitted it and a bit of poking around fixed it.
