Because the car originally had a NA 617 engine. When I swapped in the TD engine the plan was to eventually switch the radiator out and install an expansion tank. After driving it for a bit I never noticed it running hot or overheating (once warmed up, stays solid at 80C). So I just continued driving it and now it has been over 3 years without any problems.

I never put in the radiator out of the TD. I still have a new expansion tank sitting around somewhere...

Same to you I'm happy that the car is going to a family that'll appreciate and care for the car.

well done,

I have to agree as someone who was interested in the car, I just missed out as I had not been able to arrange to get down to see the car. The information received and follow up was really good.
