Yep over the last couple of days the temp of my Y60 was rising well over half way, never seen before, so need to check the rad out am quite sure it will be half clogged with mud so going to have to attack it with the high pressure jet washer will post pics as I go, need to sort it as got to pick up a 2 tonne load of logs over the weekend with more than a couple of steep hills on the way back, last time I did it was down to first gear for a short section and exhaust gas temp was up to 650 so really do need to have max engine cooling available, Rick
