I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic.

I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day.

The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped.

On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects.

I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start.

Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up?

Open to any suggestions at this stage.
