Coolant level in expansion tank looks OK.
Was hoping to put off replacing the rad but it looks like I'll have to do it sooner rather than later, hence my wanted post.
See U at the SOM on Wednesday?

Was a private purchase and although I new that the rad was leakng slightly it's worse than I remember.
New rad?
What do you think about the running temperatures 🤔

Just picked up my new 1.6 SS today and the return home involved 80 odd miles of motorway running 😬 😬 😬 😬
The coolant temperature gauge reading rose quite quickly to 80degrees and then once crusing at 70 it gradually crept up to 88 to 90 degrees. Is this normal 🤔
When I got the car home the small coolant weep I had noticed on the rad when I first looked at the car had become 2 and one was obviously more than just a weep with signs of coolant having splashed onto the top hose and dried.
Should I carry on running the car like this or should I try either to stem the leaks with Radweld or replace the rad?

Spotted Tony Whitely this morning at about 11.15 heading towards the M3 junction.
I was on the opposite carriageway stuck in the queue for the roadworks

Green and yellow 'classic' in Goldsworth Park Industrial Estate (Woking) at about 11am this morning.
Looking a bit lost but gone before I could offer my assistance.
I was stood in the entrance to the Recycling Centre.

Which of the CC gearboxes is the better from a robustness point of view?
5 speed or 6 speed?
I've noticed a recent thread talking about synchro ring failures on the 5 speed

Interesting this.
As I'm in the market for a used 7 I was wondering if there were any significant differences in the cars (partucularly in the chassis and suspension) say between 1990 and present.
Were there any step changes in build quality / performance / durability along the way?
Any info gratefully received.
