do you have a shroud at all?
Also, please type in lower case. Upper case is harder to read and is considered shouting .. thanks

E.L fans are quite abit bigger/ widder than A.U may work better ??
Is i/c covering all front of radiator..Alloy rads have dropped in price, have you looked around?...

Some pics would be nice.....

Have a geez through the other overheating thread posted by neeek.

Are you running coolant?

What cap are you running?

Does it cool down with movement, ie travelling?

What fuel system are you running?

Is it running lean at idle?

What are underbonnet temps like?

What is all this in?
