Good tip! I managed to clean the one up on my Golf with a babies bottle brush, some fairy liquid, then a soak in the bowl with some bleach. Came up a treat too. Wasn't so successful with the one on the Corrado though, so the plan was to replace it. Unfortunately it met its demise before I'd done it though.  :cry:

Yeah I'm a tight git too!  :grin:

Put two denture cleaning tablets in with water and leave overnight.

Shiny and clean.

I tried washing powder, and vanish etc , got some out, but not all. Is the brown always a film, or has it sometimes stained the plastic? I guess a lot of it comes from the rusty internals of the radiator?
