However, it is useful to determine when it overheats. Is it when you are sitting in traffic, or when you are using the engine hard (e.g. on the motorway etc.)? If it overheats most when you are sitting in traffic, then it could be that the fan is not cutting in. This could be because the fan motor has failed, or the fan thermo switch has failed. -- Grunff
