Sounds nice :y

Mine sits around 80/85 most of the time, up to just over 90 where the fans start, so keep an eye on it for a while before you rush out and change the 'stat. It may well be normal.

I get the impression that facelifts run cooler (or at least the guage shows cooler) than pre facelifts.    I know pre facelift stat starts to open at 92.5,   but from reading posts it seems that facelifts always run lower (or they all have stuck stats..)

The gauge is marked differently on Facelifts. Where a pre facelift is marked at 90, facelift says 80. Don't know if the actual temperature is any different. Dash gauges are hardly accurate, but the position of the pointer on the scale remains about the same.
