I've an old Astra 1.4 (low compression) which has always tended to overheat, either at 70mph or when stuck in traffic. The biggest problem seems to be that the fan cuts in far too late - when it gets above 100 deg. Is there any way to rectify this, such as by fitting a lower temp thermostat? Or are they all preset at the same temp?
At the moment all I can do is put the heater on full and open all windows, which in the hot weather is hell :(
