well my temp gauge went to 90 and back so going to swap both the sensor and thermostat plus my MPG has been shocking recently

did some data logging with Steve last weekend d we have the same problem

a new N75 valve has cured his problem so it should cure mine

ah thats sh!t mate I've had a bad couple months  :angry:
