Default Car idling too high...

Anyone reckon thats why its getting so hot so quick? (Been having some issues with overheating )

Ive turned the idle down but it still keeps on going up

Any ideas on why/how?

Maytee i see you have been having sum problems, can you drive it round one day so i can have a quick look at it. I may be able to put you in the right direction to fix it yourself, if not i can sort it out for you
