How hot should my Rad be??

Have just completed close to 75 mile move & we didn't miss a beat (although we REALLY don't like hills) but at the end of journey bottom of rad & bottom hose were still cold & I mean cold not warm. I've been in buses for a long time & it can't be right is it???

I'm thinking blocked rad or water pump??

Heating pipes were all warm, we didn't loose any coolant / boil over??

Strange....

My bus number (if any): RM597

The bottom should be cold, if you had pump problems or rad blocked you'd be running hot surely!

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RM 1585, RMC 1486 and several RTs
