Finally got the temps back down to about 80, even when crawling along with outside air temps at 32C. Used to be mostly stuck at 90C unless zipping along. Even then it would take to some time to recover after being stuck in traffic. Car seems to run better too. Not so lumpy and a bit smoother. No pinking after being stuck in traffic and then flooring it either,, like you dowink

The fix was a combination of a new uprated radiator (biggest improvement) and the Modwise 2 stage cooling kit.biggrin Radiator recore was a tad more expensive here in Austria than I've seen on here for the UK at 686 euro or £543 inc fitting. ACT induction kit and the extra heat shield I made for the air flow meter I made probably helped too.
