Terrano won't maintain constant temp

Anyone got any ideas...my terrano keeps getting hot under load (towing, steep hills) runs ultra cool around town, about half on the highway. Has new thermostat, water pump, radiator, clutch fan hub is all good, uses no oil or water (both are clean)...I'm out of ideas. Its a 98 manual td

The 93 rocky standard weighs 1625kg with a 2.8l engine with 75kw. The 94 feroza weighs around 1250kg with a 1.6l engine with 70kw. But the rocky has a shite load more torque with 245nm whereas the feroza only has 128nm, that is the reason why I love my rocky so much cause it eats the hills, doesn't ...

A couple of weeks ago my rocky started leaking power steer fluid, degreased it, found out where the leaks were and got a new seal from daihatsu for $15.
Worth a try, better than having to change the whole thing.

I called the guy cause I wouldn't mind a cargo barrier for our rocky. The camping gear falls on the kids heads cause the boots too small (or we take too much). . It probably won't fit ours so if there's anyone else

We've just put in a K&N filter and it has given the rocky more power and better fuel economy, it was well worth the money.

All of the F75's in the Brissy area should get together one day for a drive.

As soon as we get the money our F75 is getting an exhaust and an intercooler......... Well we have the intercooler (in the back shed) we just have to fit it and do the rest.
