I would agree with Simon on this one. I may live in Montana, but I have
drove considerable MG miles through the west and have seldom experienced
overheating.
It was only under extreme conditions that it overheated (not counting
cooolant leaks):
Driving up Hwy14A in Wyoming's Big Horn mountains - new construction ruined
this road. It used to be a great curvy road, now it goes straight up the
mountain in a 10-14% uphill grade. My BGT hates this road.
Road construction with the car idling for excess periods of time in 90-100
degree weather. Once I got up to 20-30 mph, the car cooled down.
Now keeping the temperature up in the winter is a different story, but I fix
that by covering about a third of the radiator front with a piece of cardboard.
