radiatorbarn dot com has a nice set of radiators for XJs.

What sort of threw me before.....at speed the fans don't matter so much. You have air. If it were to overheat in traffic or hill climbing, I'd think fan(s), (& shroud).

No help here picking a Rad. DJB or someone might chime in. Is your E-fan coming on? It comes on at 218* Now I forgot your year. Anyway it might come on also with ether the defrost or AC on. Yea, 96, I think , it should come on like that^.
Well it was overheating at all speeds and is still getting warmer than it should IMO. Perhaps I jump the gun with worry a bit since I got it so cheap and PO was a bit sketchy. Thinking now bad fan clutch contribute to overheat at idle, bad rad to idle and at speed. e-fan comes on no problem. I'm new to all this

thanks for your help
