Ah! now we are getting somewhere! It normally runs up to N temp quickly. It gets HOT on an uphill at 70. its got poor mpg. I'd double check the timing, as if its out this would cause the running hot when worked,(assuming the rad is ok.) Also I've got a MK1V spitfire, and that was running rough, turned out it was the condenser had gone. has it got much grunt when not pushing it, iirc if its a bit flat, requireing a heavy pedal then its retarded, but if it fluffs , then zooms away, its adavnced. It should potter around nicely without either.


Also, what do you mean ' any hard trips for the car' are you going to be a part time hypermiler? Once you start this it becomes addictive and a way of life, not easy to forget for a day!
