Hi all,

Would be very grateful lof a little help if someone can give me a few minutes.

My 1.4 Brava Like to run a bit cool, which isnt normally a problem and from experience if found that smaller engine options always tend to run cool (over radiator'd??). Last few years its been getting worse, where normall blocking off anout 6" square of the rad brings the temp back up she seems to want most of the rad blocked off.

Thermostat seems to be working (you can see the dip in the gauge it opens), the heater is also very cool so I dont suspect the gauge.

Im a bit stumped, overheating cars I can deal with but this is a new one on me.

1996 1.4 with 110K on the clock.
