[Mgs] Flushing the cooling system?

[Rick Lindsay]

   LOL!  But Paul, you live in England where a scorching hot day is 78 degrees F! :-P  BTW, that is always the joke we passed around about the pitiful A/C in '70s vintage Jaguars.  It goes, "The Jaguar air conditioning is perfectly capable of handling a scorching hot 78 degree day in southern England!"

In reality, we have problems here in the southern states of the US.  The air temperature in the summer may be over 100 degrees F, and I have seen it over 130 degrees F over hot, black tarmac sitting in traffic.

With all of that said, there's also no excuse for a cooling system with an old, defective, leaky radiator cap!  That's a boil-over waiting to happen.


best regards,

rick
