Ok, well I dont know if I should laugh or cry.
Got home this evening and refitted the original radiator ( I sealed the split tank with Araldite earlier today), filled the cooling system and bled out.
Took it for a road test - the same way I have done so each previous time.
It stayed nice and cool, infact it stayed at about 1/3 on the gauge and teh fans did not switch on.
Took it out on open highway, upto 130kph and drove for 5kls at this speed, still stayed at 1/3.
Turned around and drove home at 95kph in 3rd gear (4750rpm) and still stayed at 1/3 on the gauge.
So I will await tomorrow with intrest to see what the tubes are like inside.
