Fasten small plastic bags over the radiator tails and take the radiator
outside. Give it a flush through with a mains hose or pressure
washer.

It's the "taking it outside" bit that I found so difficult when I
followed your advice for my system :-) Not so much a DIY job as a DIY and
have a friend handy with big biceps!

Yep, especially with our 9' double radiator. We actually needed 4 people to
move it, and that was with it drained (though sludgy). Even the smaller
1.2m doubles were quite heavy - I'd hate to have tried moving it with water
in!
