I have a MKIII fiesta header/expansion/coolant bottle i want to use on my kitcar. its a bit grubby on the inside...
are there any good tips on cleaning it? it has baffles in it, so cleaning it with a high pressure hose will only clean part of it.
any good tips? ( dont have a dish washer either )
Drop some fine gravel in with detergent & water & give it a thorough shaking till your arms drop off - usually does the job!
half fill wth water, then fill the rest with bleach. Worked for us!

will the bleach make it less transulcent?
Rumor has it that if you stick them in the dishwasher, it comes out all sparkly..
however, if your other half finds out, I will deny all knowledge!
Put a hamster and some washing up liquid in there and shake?

Wash powder also does the trick.

It helps if you fill the hamster with pebbles to give it more weight ......

Denture cleaning tablets! Plink, plink, fizz, fizz - done.
As already suggested the dishwasher if you dare or failing that try using dishwasher powder and hot water . Tried most of the suggestions with limited results , dishwaher powder worked a treat . It also works if you have oil in the cooling system. K series owners take note!
Plug chain. Aparantly it works well
