What a picture(s) of focused commitment to the 'beasts' (no, the cars not the men ;D!)  How long did that last until the cans came out then?! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Looking hopeful - it popped on coolant warning just as I got off M40 at Banbury...  ...hopefully that was just the air coming out.

Ran warmer - 94C - on way home, so old stat must have been tired.

Yup, sounds right - a shade under midpoint when cruising, up to just over midpoint in traffic, before fans cut in.
