Radiator advice for '92-240 sedan

My 1992-240 sedan has about 225K on it. Still runs great. Had radiator cleaned 3 years ago. Replaced thermostat a year ago. Have noticed that temp gauge needle goes above normal range but not quite into "red zone" occasionally. Have noticed it more lately especially when idling for a few minutes. Then after driving, it will slowly,over a period of a few minutes return to the normal range. Question: With this amount of mileage should I be looking at a new radiator or should I just remove it and have it cleaned again? Also, if you think I should get a new radiator, what kind should I get and are there any web sites with this radiator info? Thanks. JB

There's not really any set mileage, it depends on too many factors to predict, including both the construction of the radiator and the properties of the water you put in it. For replacements, Nissens makes a nice 3 row radiator, I have them in both of my cars and have been very pleased with the performance.
