Had a play with the overcooling Vusky yet again .
First off i fitted yet another new stat . Pretested it started opening at 81˚C and was fully open at 90˚C , Whilst changing it I noticed the stat studs were rather fooked so made some new ones and changed them.
New stat in and temperature gauge still in the blue after what could only be described as " A right good thrashing " .
Heater case was 33˚C at this point ( only on so it self bled ) , rad top according to the IR was 70˚C .
So I changed the sender and it now sits at the beginning of the white not in the blue part .
I can only conclude that both the IR and the temp gauge were telling porkies and the engine is in fact running around 80˚C ish .
Heater is blisteringly hot BTW , with it running so called cool id expect the heater to be poor at best :)
