I have one using a 2.0i Pinto - right on the limit, if I get caught in traffic, even for a few minutes the temperature gets right upto the upper limit. It has not boiled over yet but very close to it.

Mark, try a bottle of Red Line Water Wetter , drops the temperature by as much as 20 degrees

Excellent cheers guys. I am going to be using a 2ltr pinto to start with so it sounds like a micro rad for me.

Im using one with pinto. Works well. i have some holes to cut in bonnet to help with summer hot air to escape. Might consider water wetter later.

Which model Micra are the radiators from that you chaps are using with the 2.0 pinto?

I need a new one.

(If the b'stard ever starts!!)

cheers

The first model out (K10), all models had the same red (1.0, 1.2 and 1.3)
