Quick preliminary follow up.
I took the radiator off and flushed it through with a very weak hydrochloride acid solution. Plenty more flushing and then installed the four blade fan. It draws a lot more air through the radiator and into the engine bay. After idling for a quarter of an hour the gauge temperature was around 85 degrees and holding steady. It’s pouring down here at the moment and we have family staying so I’m not venturing out just yet.
