Angry Ea Running Hot

Hey, My Ea Is Really Testing My Patients (spelling) Lately.
On A Nice Day About 25 Os So Degrees, The Temp Will Go Just Over Half Way, And On A Day Like Today Bout 40 Degrees The Temp Went Way Way Up Into The Red Zone(meaning To Hot!!).
It Also Heats Up Reaaly Quickly When I Go Up A Hill.
I Have -flushed The Cooling System (twice)
-and Changed The Thermostat
All Made No Difference.

Could The Radiator Be Blocked?
What Else Can It Be?

Mine did the same a day or two ago. I realised I had the aircon on flat out, and as soon as i switched it off, she cooled down rapidly to regular operationg temp... Go for the "open window" aircon option in your e-series, it's the safest way ;)

CruzinEA.
First thing to do to a E-series is to clean the leaves out from between the condencor and radiator.

My bet is the fan clutch has had the gong.

Default Never seen so much crap

I cleaned between radiator and aircon cooler. I reckon there were enough feathers for 2 dead birds, leaves to fill a gum tree and hairy stuff like wool!!!
Took radiator out and hosed all fins clean - Its magic now
