Messed up on my build need radiator advice

@declan
It’s weird, my temp gauge doesn’t rise much at all in stop~start nightmare traffic. What does happen is my gear change gets ’sticky’, it won’t go into neutral without a struggle. That’s when my engine smells hot.Trouble is a radiator is doing next to nothing if it doesn’t have any airflow forcing convection. Sitting in traffic is the worst possible scenario. I don’t have any cooling problems, if I did I’d put 1 or 2 12v fans on the radiator. The kind you get in computers for CPU cooling but bigger, there’s loads out there. have a temperature actuator probe that sits in the fins of the radiator, so they only come on when needed. If the problem was bad I’d shroud the fans th the radiator as well...

@dan28 I did, but it is WIDELY different to the OEM Lanza radiator.
I wonder if there was a translation error
You can buy a pair of after market lanza rads for approx 150 on the non filler side is a lot longer

@dan28 And the filler side is a lot thicker.
If it's thicker that's good it has a thicker core so will cool it better
