Well if that works for you then fine. I’ve been using the official (RAVE) method on my V6 for over ten years with absolutely no problems at all. I must have a magic touch!

The stated method for the 1800 in RAVE is not certainly not the best technique for the job Simon, this is based on experience.
I do agree with you in respect of radiators, it is much nicer to have a quality radiator refurbished with a new core, something I've had done in the past with various cars, and they are so much more substantial than the plastic tank, crimped aluminium rubbish fitted to modern cars.
