With what I paid, $100 was a rounding error (and he ended up doing
a lot of work for free, because it was a fixed-price job and he's a
perfectionist). But it's not the first time I'd heard of this problem
with new radiators. A lot of people complain about cooling issues=20
with their MGAs. I've never had a problem, even with weather in=20
the 80s. And if it's hotter than that, I overheat long before the
car would.

Hmmm. With my cynical hat on I'd say that could be a way of spending =

rather than $300.
