Cheap as chips motoring suits me as I drive on into my motoring Sunset with many more K11 years to keep it going. I keep it seriously simple, put fuel in the back & the Mrs & myself in the front, out & about when the Sun is out. Happy days. :)

Radiator may be partly blocked with sludge and crud to which you refer. Also w pump may not be able to supply sufficient cooling flow rate through the partly clogged rad. Fittng new parts at random is not a viable economic option with 1996 vehicle.
