Have used it,wouldnt recommend it.Theres something on the market and although much more expensive is supposed to be pretty good,some kind of liquid glass/ceramic stuff.Not used it myself but the guy at the MOT station told me about it and recommended it

it's only good when it's left in the coolant. change the coolant and you will start to have the problem again

It does only stop it for a while - until you get too carried away and rip it apart again :oops:

as Bubba says it is only a stop gap solution until you can get a proper fix. unless you are a dodgy dealer and have a 50/50 mix with the coolant just to get the engine running right prior to auction
