    Heat Retention

    I went down to my sisters in Cirencester on Sunday without ant issues on the 83 mile journey.

    On the way back after about 10 miles I stopped for fuel, when I started off again the temp needle was at 3/4 over the M of TEMP:shock:

    I put the Kenlowe oon and carried on, after 2 miles the needle was back down to just below halfway between E & M of TEMP.

    When I got back home to stopped th eengine and checked the needle for about 2-3mins but it stayed on the halfway mark!:?

    I checked the water the next day andthe rad was full to the brim and the bottle 1/4 full!

    I have thanks to Marty the stuff to do the header tank modification but want to understand what happened here beforeI do this mod?

    Anybody else had this happen and found any reason for it?

    I take it that the high reading you describe is unusual for your car? It has been warm today!

      Mine always rises when I switch off for a while, but soon drops again once on the move.

        I find that if im running the car and stop for a bit like getting petrol the guage does rise a bit but soon goes back down when it runs for a bit , doesnt sound that bad to me.

          Quite often when I stop after a long hot run I pop the bonnet and let a bit of air flow in and out.

            Mine does this too. When I stop for fuel or to open the garage door (with engine stopped) the temp rises slightly. Got stuck in a traffic jam on Sunday in near 80deg heat and it rose a little then too.

              Good old fashioned heat-soak - the Stag is renowned for it!
