Well, don't replace the antifreeze that puked out. This may just be an expansion issue. I think your 1975 B has the captive overflow canister (black painted brass container with the radiator cap). Th

Try testing the thermostat. Hang it and a kitchen thermometer in a pan of water on the kitchen stove and heat. You should be able to see it open at 165. If it doesn't begin to open then, toss it and

Sounds like my car. '75 B, original rad. Whenever the weather gets above 70 degrees, the car runs warm. Above 90, it runs quite hot. Driving faster doesn't help :) The '75 system is supposed to be 10

If you have the mechanical fan then even this will show the temp rising above N if the engine has got hot and then left to idle on a warm day, but it should drop if the bonnet is opened. Completely

About 12 years ago I had my radiator rebuilt with an expensive 4 row core. The MG would run all day in even on the hottest weather at 190. It recently started leaking from the top tank and I replaced

This just implies that either that stat is stuck open or opening too early (new stat noted) or the gauge is reading low. Even in ambients around freezing mine runs at N without blanking anything off.

My experience with my '72 MGB-GT is similar to Bob Donahue's. Fitted with a 195F thermostat, the gauge will not reach N with ambient temps below 50F unless part of the radiator is blocked. When the

Why a 195 stat? Clausager reckons the standard stat was originally 180 (which I have) with 165 for hot climates and 190 for cold climates. Then the standard stat was changed to 165 to increase oil pr

It started out as an effort to increase heat to the heater, a wintertime adaptation. The first cold morning revealed that the 195 stat was insufficient to bring much heat to the heater, which lead to

Of course you are not blocking off the rad by putting cardboard there, because if the heater is giving no heat (assuming a properly working system) the stat will be closed anyway and there will be no

It *should* only run when the coolant temp gets several degrees hotter than the stat temp. If the stat maintains the temp gauge at the N, the fan should cut in when the gauge is about mid-way between
