Hi Bernie,
Thank you for your reply. At the moment this is my plan.
As I can still use the car and have the pleasure of driving it. I will take things slowly. – make a new washer for the radiator cap, fit an ‘air deflector’ kindly made for me by another club member ( similar to Franssen part N0 331074) – go on another run keeping an eagle eye on the water temperature gauge, experiment at going at a variety of speeds and see what happens!
If no improvement plan B .Please let me know if your reconditioned radiator has solved the problem. I might have to go down that route myself.
Regards
Bob
