I have learned that this particular car does not like crawling along any longer than about 30 - 45 mins before the red light comes on.

I am still going to go for a burn over the w/e..one must push up the revs as I have now learned that it really is important to drive the car as James and Ron have talked about - ultimately to keep the M47 healthy.

As it is extremely rare for a Diesel R75 to overheat it sounds as though you have a problem with your cooling fan. A regular problem with the R75 and well documented on the forum.
