Took it out for a welly this morning. Actually with a bit of umpf it overheated pretty quickly. Felt radiator all over and bottom drivers side is pretty hot, the rest of the rad is still completely cold.

It is looking like a blocked/clogged radiator to me.

Any decent rad places that could recore to a higher spec aluminium core, or would a modern rad be a decent aluminium core.

But lets see if the headgasket has failed again.

So you're saying modern radiators aren't always as good quality? Yeah I've put it all back together until the garage has had a look then will replace thermostat etc. Thermostat wouldn't lead to fan not kicking in though would it. So that must be rad I presume
