Good work getting the old girl back on the road and ever-further towards being in decent fettle.
I think it was a good move replacing that radiator as I really can't see that the union would have held any length of time being superglued in place.... with all the potential woe that risked to both the engine and yourself and fellow motorists (as coolant is surprisingly slippery when dropped over the road in any quantity!)
To me, that coolant temperature sounds somewhat on the cool side if that's reading accurately. Is the thermostat original, as it could be sticking open a little if so?
