[Healeys] healey running hot

[Rich C]

Jess,

Check that the thermostat is opening fully and isn't sticking, then I'd 
suspect the radiator. Just because it's been flushed and doesn't leak, it 
could still be half plugged.

I don't have your name in the Hundred Registry. Can you please send me all 
your BN1 numbers, etc. for the Hundred Registry?

Thanks
