Tony,

Cendric has explained this very well. New radiator is way better. Wouldsuggest you also have the madman coolent level, and temp fitted. This save me on our last outing when the raidiator sprung a leak. Madman sensor warned me of the low level. Also gives me an accurate water temp as it comes out of the engine.

Agree with Cedric. Madman is a must.

Regards and cannot wait to get back to SA.

Hey thanks Grant I will definately look into it. But what would make it suddenly start doing this - I mean the radiator water level is stable and has been since I bought her and the temp gauge has never fluctuated before - which makes me wonder about the visco fan / water pump I do want to check that out first then we'll look at radiators & an EGT gauge.

Cheers Grant - by the way, where are you ??
