I get the whole WA bit, but I'm always waiting for these guys, everything else can come from anywhere else in the country (including WA) or overseas in less time.

I spoke to the local mechanic today about flushing the engine out. He said seeing as thought the radiator is out just pop a heater hose off an flush that till clear, then block the heater outlet which will force it through the engine and out the bottom radiator hose (which is at the top. Your engine is now full of fresh water. Install radiator and add sufficient coolant concentrate to treat the full system and top up with water. Job done. That's all they do when you order a coolant flush.

But then, aren't you left with tap water in the system that hasn't been flushed out ?? I thought de-mineralized/destilled water is a must.
