Indulge me mate… remove the bonnet,(doesn't take long-easier with two people) and then do the exact same driving that causes the terrano to overheat. Report back please. This will tell me two things.Which i won't share with you until you have reported results, as i don't wish to skew results or your observations.

sorry mate, I see that the fan was on backwards, and you have solved your overheating problems late last year. Ignore my previous post.
