Air Temp 30C
6th gear 2,600 rpm return coolent temp 63C engine temp 95C
5th 3,750 80C 97C
4th 4,100 85C 100C
3rd 5,500 92C climbing 105C Stopped trial.
Drove 30 k same speed in 6th and temps return to previous result.

Today's test was at an air temp of 38C so I think its safe to say I have proved the point about the pump suction.
