    How to reset garage cable back into groove wheel?

    Cheers guys sorted it yesterday and all good. Curious about one thing though. I drained the water into containers and whilst it was a light brown colour, there was very little debris in it, certainly not enough to block any valves. After reading some posts here I was expecting sludge to come...
