And mine has new water pump, thermostat and the radiator has been flushed. The couple of 2.8's I have driven all sit there.

my 2.8 td sits on just under 1/2, does warn a little on the highway on a little load (i put this down to the aftermarket water pump).

The radiator when flushed at 225,000km was 60% blocked according to the radiator place (could be BS)

The Radiator also now has a small crack along the top of the tank. It leaks, but does not overheat.
