Fitted new rad today as old one seemed to be blocked(was a leak in it anyway) yet the bottom hose is still cold.Watching temp
on power fc got up to 94 on tickover in garage after fitting rad.Fans come on at 92 as they should
(no air con so i have that fan wired to the rad fan).Also fitted new thermostat last week.Pump is only a few months old,its the newer
6 vane type not like the round type that came off it.It was fine last week when i changed the engine.I ran the engine with
cap off so dont think its air locked.Have seen temps around 98 on old engine and rad and the oe gauge never moved passed
halfway.Could someone tell me what kind of temps i should be getting,am i over analysing the situation,though the car does smell
hot.in car heater works fine aswell.Any ideas before i pull off the water pump.Car is v5 type r,cheers.
