Can anybody tell me (or roughly) what the capacity of the entire cooling system of my 2 Litre Continental is?
How many Litres (sorry – PINTS!) does it take?
Is there a data sheet with all other measurements etc. of the 2 Litre engine available?

Hi Hans

There isn’t as far as I know a data sheet specific to the 2 Litre engine.
David Hine’s Vintage Lagonda Handbook has some general information covering
the 2L 3L and 16/80 engines.

The radiator capacity is around 2 gallons (16 pints) but not 100% certain.

If you haven’t yet found a 2 Litre wiring diagram drop me an email and I will
seek to scan the best one I have.
