I've seen a couple of "interesting" heater matrix flushing methods of late namely involving driving round for a week with fairy liquid in the coolant followed by a flush with water and refill.

Say what you like but you can't argue with the results....the crap that came out as biblical. Empty it out. All good.

Has anyone else got slow blowers?
I go out to my frost covered Omega most mornings and once the temperature needle starts climbing direct the warm air to the windscreen.
While the fan is at full power it seems to take ages to clear the screen compared to my old Saab?

Model year is it?

There was an issue on some early Facelifts where the recirc would kick in and you had to cycle through the settings to get it to reset

My 2003 facelift has done that on occasions.

The Vauxhall bulletin suggested that it happens if the voltage drops below 8 volts.

I am a bit dubious about that explanation - but it did happen to me several times just before my alternator failed and has only done it once or twice since..........

The cabin is dry, not fried opening the rear windows, I think the rear vents are open although you can hear the air change direction effectively when you move from cabin to screen etc.
In the side pockets of the boot is a first aid kit, jump Leeds a bottle of auto glym and a cloth But that's it.

How much did you put in, did you drain it from the rad tap or flush it out of the heater matrix pipes?

no idea, it wasn't my job (I'll find out for you though). I thi the lad pulled the matrix pipes off and back flushed it to get as much junk moving as possible. Then just dumped a load in to the header tank with water. Boom. The amount of shite in the header tank just from bleeding was monstrous
