Hi

I'm trying to replace a radiator. The new one has some packaging plugs in the air vent
which I can't remove. I managed to get the outer part off by rotating 90 degrees or
so but the bit in the actual socket remains a mystery. It has a large cross shaped
impression in it but my largest philips is still way too small. Any ideas what I should be
using please?

Thanks,
Clint

And normal flat screwdriver will do, give the plug a tap with a small hammer first to break the paint.
