It is rather warm though in Cyprus at this time of year. 42 degrees in Protaras last week
Other areas to explore;
Cut vents in bonnet/side panels.
Seal off area around rad so all air is ducted through.
Shield rad from engine so it doesn't get cooked by warm air coming through.
Spend a small fortune on some more water wetter and replace your entire coolant with the stuff.
Leave it in the garage until the weather cools down a bit

Guys, this was done last night, idling in a cool 23 degrees... in my garage...
with the bonnet off...
Gonna do some more investigation, drain, refil and re-bleed the cooling system..
Change the clutch at the same time, and maybe see if I can mount the new pace rad, for extra coolant capacity...
I have plenty of water wetter, but all water wetter does it break down the surface tension on the water so you dont get boiling in the block/head...
its not as good a coolant as water..
