Got a load of mud up in my rad and wondering the best way to clean it.... i've got a pressure washer but thought this may be too powerful for said job... we've got an air compressor at work if that would do the trick?
Cheers

A garden hose should do the job mate.

I'd agree with Keith (Rifleman), a garden hose should do it.
Try washing the muck out the opposite way to that which it got in, squirting the water from inside the engine bay and out through the front. At least you don't have to worry about a drought and hosepipe ban!

If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is.
