A thermostatically controlled electric fan is a far better option.
However check the radiator for scale and blockages first. If there are
blockages renew the core. Cleaning with radiator flush or having it done
professionally with acid does not work properly. Just bite the bullet
and replace the core with one with a higher cooling capacity, more rows
and more tubes /row. Also fit a NOS sleeved thermostat. They are
available in several opening temperatures
