i think i recall seeing a liquid you can buy from halfords which does this? am i right?

 

what actually does it do?

Add flushing solution to your oil & run it to operating temperature then drain the old oil out, replacing it with 5/40 semi synthetic oil & a new oil filter, voila, engene flushed & replenished :D

You mean 5w30 right peewee? This is a zetec engine he has...

Mine used to make a slight ticking noise when cold. Changed the oil and filter and was fine after that. :thumb:
