Hi,
I have installed a much higher-powered-than-standard
radiator fan for traffic situations and a radiator air
scoop for all other. They manage the heating problem
well.
I would also check your cooling system and water pump
for any blockages or problems.
On your engine timing and emissions, you need an expert
on US spec Plus 8's though with the info I do have I
would have to guess that you are running too lean for
your engine's setup.
