Well im running a standard radiator at the moment and in winter it stays at the halfway point but in hot weather it goes another quater higher and if im in traffic or motorway trips (all weather) on the motorway it sometimes goes near the red. Is that normal??

Hmmm, sounds like you may need to flush your rad through, what size engine you got?

Hmmm, I'm not sure with that, I don't think it should be getting up to the red area, but maybe in traffic in the heat it will?!

I am buying 2 MiniSpares rads to keep my engine cool. Playing with the idea of electric water pump as well. Runs 1 (but will be changeing to 2) electric fans at the moment.

So quick answer would be: MiniSpares 2 Core Rad.

Well its been near the red once, it did go 100 odd miles at 65 lol. Main motoways, its about a quater and another half a quater above the half way. Think the radiator may need replacing or somthing else. Will find out eventually tho.

still think you should go for a front rad, theres enough room in the clubbie with a bit of work on the front panel
