Right my gauge will read hot after about 10mins of driving. i personally think its now a electrical fault. ive changed loads of bits and it has never over heated and ive had this problem now for approx 4/5mths. i do run a GRS and 1 fan (got another on the way) BUT it never had a problem b4 of this....even in these freezing conditions it reads just under the red.
ive changed the dash clocks
water pump
sender
thermostat and also put in now christian&beccys lower temp thermo
flushed the rad out loads of times
use coolent and water
tried running the fan running constant
the fan cuts in correctly
done a block test all ok there
a my mate (a breakdown tech) used his snap on infra red temp reader on all hoses
but it still reads just under the red even when i got the hot air blowing through if i dont it rises. it probably will be ok if i dont put the air on as it should of cooked itself by now or over heated but i just dont wanna take a risk
