Car D.I.Y.

Ohhh ok , There's a new angle on what it could be.
90c on my car dash display is right in the middle and from reading the Haynes manual the low speed fan should come on at around 98c (which it does)
To me that also seems a little high as you say.
Cheers @raleighnut

The Fan will be on a different 'sender' unit to the temp gauge, I'd change the thermostat first. If the Haynes manual says fan cut in temp is 98c then I'd believe them, Haynes are pretty accurate. Just seems a little high for me but I'm 'old school', more modern engines do run a bit hotter to improve fuel economy with ECU's and fuel injection compared to old 'points and carb' engines.
