KGA has the "standard" modification common to most classic cars - the temperature sender gauge which starts up the electric fan has been replaced with a switch.
So the driver decides when the engine's too hot, and often forgets to turn the fan off after parking. Leading to another battery charge.
Even with the electric fan, global warming is taking its toll and hotter days see KGA cruising around England with the fan switched on, the heater on full and all windows wound down to try and moderate the sweating of the inhabitants.
Hopefully the situation can be improved with a run on BARS flush, removal of the radiator and reverse-flushing it, and some new cooling hoses.
Then I may be able to put back the thermostat which a previous owner removed many summers ago.
