Any recommendations, the thermostat is hard to reach, so in an ideal world I'd like to be able to put something in the cooling system, bring the car up to temperature, let it cool, then drain it and flush it.

One of the older guys at the engineering place that did my cylinder head said to chuck a couple of dishwasher tablets it and run it for half an hour or so...
Not entirely convinced as I thought it was bad for aluminium but apparently people used to do it quite a lot!

Crumble the dish washer tablets though, or use bleach

Cool, thanks for the replies. I went with the dishwasher tablets and then flushed it out thoroughly after, it got plenty of crud out, so it seems to have worked.

To get the last dregs out take the rad off and give it a good shake to get the residue out of the bottom of it
