Rusty colour water

Postby millyflanagan » Fri Jul 28, 2017 7:35 pm

Hi, I've just checked my horse box water and found it is a rusty orange colour. Anyone know what this could be. It's a Ford transit, Y reg.

Probably rusty water due to no antifreeze (it acts as a rust inhibitor), possible overheating problem, flushwith clean water, then run a decent rad flush then flush and refill with coolant (good anti freeeze and some water) see what happens
