    Angry OO LA LA

    well i fired up the rover today for the first time in awile..the power steering is all done & works great, i will never dive another series with standard steering again, after i got all the air out its was awsome its even lighter than the wifes 4runner to steer now..the only problem now is the radiator the origanal is stuffed so i went & got a holden one as i had one in my last rover with the holden engine same as this but it didnt fit dont know why mybe it was a differant model commerdore one that i got this time whoknows,anyway i went back to the wreckers where i got ot from & they said to try this one that they gave me whitch is out of toyota cresseda 6cyl well got it all bolted in fine & hooked up but when i got it going was only going for a few minutes & became very hot to the point where i couldnt even touch the rad.although it dosnt have a fan on it never got that hot with the origanal one & it leeks like a siv(stuffed)..any ideas would be great guys.it was origanaly the 6cyl rover now holden 179 & but i think the rad is the origanal rover 6cyl one..might just have to get the origanal one reco'd.BUT on the plus side the power steering is AWSOME i am hoping i can get it all done & rego'd b4 xmas.not going to hold my breath thow..
