Engines overheating?

[startinghandle]

I have this theory about engines overheating and that is
Lack of maintenance and driver error
We use to have JD 2040 and I regularly cleaned out Radiator with hose pipe also when using it heavy which was not very often I would never stop engine immediately after finishing but shut it down for a few minutes to keep coolant circulating
Yesterday I put question here about low mileage Range Rover.. I will now start looking for hilux or L 200
A problem with p38 is overheating but ample cooling capacity should be calculated when designing vehicle to cope with all conditions

Older vehicles often have internal coolant flow restrictions in the core of the radiator.....

I have ford ranger and can highly reccomend them if you'd be interested in 1 o them

Fuel starvation can also contribute to overheating

I changed the radiator on my P38 and it cured its overheating, cheap Chinese one ( radiator and oil cooler, it’s one package ) was £99, the British made one was £120.

I bought a 25 year old 4.6 P38 that had about 400,000km on it.
it did overheat badly ( especially at idle ), but I replaced the radiator with a new one, a new water pump, reservoir bottle & aftermarket thermostat, never had a problem after
It’s a bit warm over here at times . . .
You can buy much larger capacity radiators ( Desert Edge Racing ?? ) for more extreme conditions
