Yes.  But it still works!  What I did was cut back on the anti-freeze/water
ratio so that I had more water than anti-freeze (yet still enough anti-freeze
to protect it from freezing - the %ages and the temps are on the container) .
 Bottom line was that it reduced the coolant temp by about 20degrees.  One
other thing - the cooling system was flushed and back flushed before I added
the mixture and the Water Wetter.  And the fan and shroud were in place and
working properly.  On a TR4 every bit helps - which, I think, is why TR4A's
and onward have bigger radiators.  FWIW. Cheers.
