I used the LocTite one and it did seem to make a worthwhile difference...

The 'other' ones don't seem to do much at all.

The lucas products are pretty good but nothing is going remove a build up of mud and slush from a radiator except either a new radiator or having the tanks removed and wires pushed down the cores.

A mini doesn't have much cooling capacity to spare and even a 10% reduction in efficiency will make them begin to overheat. So locating all the reasons it overheats is important.

With all the sludge removers, follow the instructions and dont leave it in longer than recommended and they will eat through worn thin radiator cores.
