My advise is you go to a scrap yard first ;)

I have kept one of my cars going after 'raiding' a yard and building up a stock of them.  It is amazing how many you find almost new! :D :D :D :y

Is your radiator leaking? If not take it out and lay it flat then fill it with Fernox from B&Q and boiling water and leave it over night. The next day reverse flush and then refit. Works wonders :y

Nope not leaking but when you run a hand over it with the car having reached a decent temp one side is hot and the other freezing cold.

So I take it this is like chucking a load of caustic down the drain then?

Just make sure you use Fernox cleaner/descaler and not fernox protector :y
