The radiator tends to clog up after many years of operation. This causes poor coolant circulation and over heating of the engine. Flushing the radiator will clean this out and restore its cooling capability. Doing it yourself is a messy job but it can be done. You need to collect the old antifreeze also as it is toxic. Buy a radiator flush solvent and just follow the instructions on the container.
