Good luck its a good looking ride.
Apparently there was too much water not enough coolant in the mix. I flushed the system and changed it to a 50/50 mix. I tested the new mix by idling the car and waited 15 min to wait for the temp to rise above 105 C and the aux fan kicked in at high speed which brought the temp down to 95 C so no gurgling or boiling of coolant through the overflow. All is back to normal, thank goodness. The A/c is currently not working so I don't get a low speed aux fan?? That's the next job, then the left speaker comes on and off. Rear windows don't work, more likely the switch rather than the motor?
