About 1/3 normally. Any more and I put my fan on. altho I usually drive with window open and heater off but on 'hot' to clear some engine bay heat. Also serves to warn you if it goes cold you have a water air-lock/ no water in the header

Forgot about that light: I normally have a look in there anyway first time I get in as it lives in the garage with power supply connected so have to open the bonnet to disconnect that, so have a quick peek to check the fluid is ok. ..altho I am right on the air-lock
Don't you go adding me to your sig "Mk4 wanna be neither" ya cheeky coont.
