How old is the radiator? I replaced mine with a larger one one from Ebay a couple of weeks ago. This was easy to do and the change has made a major difference. The 15 year old original had become a thin smashed up shell that wasn't doing anything. Also check the size of your grill blocks, as the venting is especially important when going up hills.
