I think that about does it. I believe it's not an IMS because that was replaced with an upgrade 8 years ago (service history).

So...

I am concerned about the junk in the reservoir tank and, as I said, would appreciate it if I can get into dialogue with some of you guys with experience of my issue.


In anticipation, thank you guys.

The oil is not harming the coolant tank but it is eating away all the rubber hoses in the coolant system that run up to the radiators.

I don't think the IMSB was replaceable 8 years ago in the UK.
