    I have a backflush tool that I bought to drop my coolant and reverse flush. I think it was about $80 from memory, but a lot of people make their own. Even running the hose through will help to push the old coolant out.
    Any pictures or more info mate?
    the one thing I have always actually payed for (cos I can never be sure I have got all the old coolant out)...is to get some HOT water back-flushed through the system via Natrad etc, my reasoning is it needs to be HOT to get the thermos to open (some cars have 2 or more) and backwards to get the gunk dumped out.

    About to get the other family bus (kia wagon) done....a new tool in the shed may be justified in this case (sorry for hijack)
