is the water leak finally sorted ? :y
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.
What temp should engine be running at?

below mid guage,.  depends if prefacelift or facelift.  guage markings changed at that time....
Mine is S reg mini face lift i think that is and is normally just below half way which i think is 95?

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

Just like to say a [size=18]BIG[/size] "THANK YOU" to timbuk, loo-knee and captain zok for helping me yesterday with my leaky cam cover gasket!!!!  :y All's well so far. Brill day, shame I had to go at half one!  :'(

Elite Pete I'm glad it turned out well with the slip diff cos the look on your face when you got told the one you took off already was one. "Priceless"  ;D ;D ;D

No Mate, Mr DTM thought it would be a good idea after struggling taking the original one off to tell me it was a LSD, when it wasn't;D
