Yea, that capitalization stuff actually matters sometimes.

Honestly, I have to skip some of his posts sometimes because I can't figure out what he's talking about.

Cleaned my radiators today, I couldn't believe how much got through my grill wire mesh after 14 months. Don't you hate it when you realized you left an internal screw out after everything was put back together..

that is a perfect visual explanation as to why i have screened in grills. yuck. good for for you for cleaning them. i'm certain it impedes their ability to cool once enough bugs/debirs have lodged into to the rad fins.

Good god that is fourteen months? That looks like fourteen years. Where do you live that you pick up that much crud?

I pull my front bumper every two year and find only 20% of your accumulation. I do vacuum out the radiators with a long cardboard tube every couple of months so maybe that is working better than I thought.

I replaced my windshield cowl and gave her a thorough wash. The cowl replacement was an easy job.

You'd be surprised how much can get past the screens Mark.I too have screened in grills that were not fitted by me but obviously the smaller pieces of debris is still getting through.
I did some adjustments to the screens, hopefully this will make some difference.

This morning on the way to breakfast the car was missing badly at 1.2 bar. Did the 30k maintenance on her and swapped out plugs. Much better now!

I think I need to do my driver's side as it doesn't always roll down a little when I open the door from the inside. Did you find instructions online?
