Pull the bottom hose off the water pump NOT off the radiator - and stick a hose pipe in the filler neck..... For better effect - lift the rad out of the car and then you can reverse wash it by running water back and forth through the rad. Aslo carefuuly wash out all the little fins to make sure air can flow through freely.

Refit radiator - fill up with water + Rad Flush chemical (or some drain cleaner) - run the engine up to full temperature - then drain out and flush with water a couple of times......
