Just to close out this thread. I learned a valuable lesson tonight! No matter how big your radiator if you don’t have enough air getting to it, it’s
pretty much useless!
I changed the grille to a woven wire type... massive massive improvement. The cooling fan did not come on once, and the thermostat was hardily
opening, the temp of the air coming into the cockpit was nice and cool as opposed to being roasted previously! The temps never creeped above 86 and it
maintained 85 pretty steadily for the whole drive regardless of speed.
The fan comes on when sat in traffic and does it’s job, and the car keeps it’s self at the correct temp when driving at any speed... exactly what I
wanted. I just wish the front wing bracket hadn’t sheared on the drive home. Luckily the tyre and Mud guard are both un damaged!
Tidy.
So the original was like the diamond shaped expanded stuff?
How big were the holes in that out of interest compared to the new woven mesh?
