On a trip out in my 1974 auto' today it did the usual classic car trick of overheating...!!!
I was stop-start (the result of Fulham playing and Putney High Street being clogged with busses) for about 20-30 minutes which didn't do it any favours but I do believe that the car should not overheat after that short period of time...? I let the car cool for about twenty minutes, topped up with water (it didn't lose too much) and carried on so it wasn't a great trauma...
Anyhow, what do you folks recommend in terms of better radiator/fan combinations...? I think a good start is to get my radiator overhauled (after 35 years of water passing through it it may need a thorough de-clog/clean!) but after that I really do not know what to do, can I get a bigger, more efficient, fan?
I'm pretty sure something like this has been mentioned on here before but I thought I'd ask regardless...!
Any help, whatsoever, would be hugely appreciated... Thank you all in advance...
