so the old girl overheats. its a disco 200tdi into a 90. (1986) the missus drives it to work everyday and does about 30min at 60 on a dual carriageway and it will start to overheat. not too sure how much or for how long as she doesn't seem to pay too much attention! but she does pull over to allow it to cool down. i stuck the viscous fan back on, flushed out the pipework till it ran clean, cleaned the mud out of the rad. apparentely it has made no difference at all.
i have a new thermostat ready to fit, my rad is looking a bit sorry for itself but not awful.
is there anything else it could be? i'm a bit stumped as it is when she is doing 60 odd which normally going that fast helps cooling. it seems fine around town. i towed by 1.5T boat the otherday for 40min at 50 with no overheating issues either.
help!?
