Cooling issue
I apologise for this. I know I have a seperate thread where I discussed these issues, but I want to get some slightly different opinions and pretend this is a new issue.
The XJ is getting to the stage where the overheating is almost unbearable. Under load (up hills, more weight in the car, faster you go above 90 km/h, etc), the greater the temperature. Obviously, the hotter the day, the hotter it runs.
I am willing to say that airflow through the radiator is not an issue and the thermostat is correct and new.
I have it at the mechanic today. Pressure is excellent, the dye test proved it is not leaking fluid, and the timing is spot on.
Some items have been replaced recently. I am sure the gauge to the instrument panel works as it has boiled during a Stockton Beach Run.
If I could get any opinion or suggestion, no matter how stupid, I would love to hear it! (You know you are in trouble when your mechanic is as lost as you).
Thanks!
