I used a chap near Malvern, called John (Kale, I think). It's not cheap £500 odd and Made little difference! If it's not leaking I would consider just flushing. If you're going ahead anyway you could try flushing with brick acid or descaler-I havn't been brave enough to try it but would love to know if the rad will withstand strong hydrochloric acid!? It appears that sv minors tend to run at the very top end of normal and overheating is often sludge in the engine which needs a good flushing with core plugs removed. In any case keep us posted and good luck :shock:

Haven't used this company myself, but I believe they're well respected and have been around for some time - probably also expensive.
