ive been drivein the car today fine temp smack in the middle  :cool:so i left the car to run buy its self and after about5/10 mins the temp got to 3/4 fan kickd in for about 12secs then about 20/30 secs later again did this for about ten mins and the temp never went up but also never went down stuck at 3/4 the hole time is all that right?also when i drive it again it soon goes back down

sounds about right mate, my own is nigh on constantly in hot weather and even when its chilly the fan is comes on every 3 or 4 mins if sat stationary,

as yours, once on the move it sits at halfway or just under, as long as your not overheating or losing coolant you should be fine

i have tried different clocks and relays in mine and they all read different when hot

with yours its just a case of getting to trust that the system is doing its job. keep a can of coolant and a few spares and tools in the car

cheers mate... my white one had 14@ BBS RA's the spokey ones from an early mk2... i think id go for them on this as the car has a proper old skool look about it as fars as the bbs body kit and spoiler goes... either that o some 14s with dishes, anythin considered but its gotta be cheap... missus is making me spend or our wage on the house!!!! as far as seats go, anything dark in coulour that will fit for now.
