Just because water flows through the radiator freely does not mean that it is good. If it is out of the car (maybe possible in the car). hold your hand on the bottom hole fill radiator to the top. release hand, . the water should rush out quickly then taper off. if it is a fast but steady flow then it is furring up.

I didn't spot my fiesta one until it was put up against a recorded one and demonstrated.

If you are using the original Sierra rad, it will be quite old and
probably full of scum, which will obviously reduce it's cooling
capacity. Disconnect the hoses and run water through it and you'll see
the crap that comes out.

Xtreme

Yes it does use the Sierra fan, it's a blower and it's on the right
side of the rad.

Does the Xtreme use the Sierra rad fan and is it still fitted on the
same

side of the rad ?
Putting a fan on the other side and swapping the wires over doesn't
work

very well.
Sucking fans have different blade shapes to blowing fans.
