I had an overheating problem in one of my cars but only at altitude (6,000 ft and higher).

Evans NPG+C, said it would never boil, and last forever, I found it on Amazon, but it is VERY EXPENSIVE. I wonder if an; /html/triumphs/2013-03/msg00131.html (12,924 bytes)

And even if you replace all you hoses, how do you know that that one, special molded heater hose is not defective.
