Its got abit better but i have just driven 15 miles mixed dual carriageway and b roads havent really been raggin it (got 33mpg for the trip) and my car was only half way to 90 on the temp guage any ideas what it could be? is that hot enough? Im thinking buggered theromosat? but i have always been getting hot air through my blower! any ideas would be much appreciated
