[Nobbc] Jag XK radiator level

[Charlie Saul]

Thanks Ron:

Makes sense.
I put in an overflow bottle because the overflow seemed excessive, but
the bottle may be siphoning too much water out.
I think I'll have to have the system checked out per earlier e-mails.

Thanks to All.

I fill my radiator until I can see the water in the curve. It will spit
out any excess anyway, kind of self leveling.
