In post no. 8 I recommended use of the instrument pack diagnostics to discover whether or not the engine is reaching a proper temperature during your very short drives to the Co-Op. Did you ever do that?
If not, can you do it now?

I never got round to it, but I went further afield tonight. Round trip of about 18 miles, and there was no bother with the temp. I’ll give the temp diagnostic a shot in the morning and report back.
