Can I quickly ask a question? (sorry for trhe semi-hijack!)
What is considered 'overheated' for a V8? Mine runs up to nearly 100 deg and I thought that was really bad! I know it's not ideal, but how hot is really too hot?
P.S my fan comes on around 90 degrees too.

I've heard that the ally Rovers are very susceptible to overheating damage and don't like to run as warm as most other engines, therefore I have fitted an 82C thermostat in mine, and the electric fan comes on not much higher than that. On the gauge it sits at about 80 or just above, in traffic or on the motorway. I have a four core radiator and a 14" Kenlowe fan.V8cortina wrote:100 degrees will be ok but a bit on the hot side, 110+ and you're overheating, mine runs at around 90-95 and I'm using a discovery Td5 radiator
