Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section

I have a Mercedes Benz 300CE Sportline (W124) 1992 J Reg. Last year on the way up north I got cought in abit of traffic, it was a very hot day. My engine started to heat up but I then turned on the hot air which cooled it down. From then I got the car serviced and everything went well till now. The car has been heating up alot and theres a leak in the radiatior. Can anyone help me as I don't know if its the radiatior itself causing this problem or somthing else

Could anyone help me please?? also I'm looking for a radiatior the cheapest I found was on eurocarparts which was £120. The car hasnt got air con.

Many Thanks To All That Help

Looks as if your viscous coupled fan has failed. There have been a number of threads on this recently. http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=17985&highlight=viscous

Don't forget that 85c is the min normal temp for any car, re the rad leak do you know where it is leaking.

I tried this stuff thats suppose to stop leaks but it didnt work so it looks like I've got to change that aswell

I think it might be the fan clutch which isnt working properly.

Does anyone know where I could get a cheap radiatior as said cheapest I found was on eurocarparts which was £120

Can anyone help with the high temp prob I'm having I'm still confused :-(

Found the problem guys

It was one of the pumps that wasnt working. I took the connection off cleaned it and put it back on and it works I also changed the water cap.

Many Thanks to all that helped me

The pump that wasnt working was the electric water recirculating pump, I've also replaced the fan. Everythings ok now :-D
