Hey Joe, happy holidays. To you and all the guys. I have a question my Jaguar 2003 overheats sometimes when I drive twenty or thirty minutes sometimes even when I drive one hour. I changed his thermostat I have changed most of the radiator hoses because they were soft. I flush the radiator. It has no leaks. Do you think it is the fan, or modulator or what? Please help. Thank you, Kenny

Okay, no problem.

Does it seem to heat up when you are driving at highway speed or only in stop and go traffic? When the temperature gauge goes beyond normal temperatures, do the cooling fans turn on under the hood? Also, when the engine over heats, check to make sure the lower radiator hose did not collapse.

Let me know.

Definitely only in slow traffic when I am driving fast it does not happen. I did notice once when it overheated a couple of the hoses collapse so I can change them it could be happening to more I do not know. But definitely only at low speeds. Okay thank you I will definitely check the radiator hoses when it overheats. As well as the fan. I will get back to you in a couple of days thank you
