last night fitted new thermostat and sender unit from dmgrs .
the thermostat was rated at 82c. have just taken it for a drive round.
in free air at 50 mph temp was 88c.
around town at 20 to 30 mph , been stuck behind buses went up to 93c
temp did move about depending on rpm due to the water pump pushing slower or faster.
the drive round involed twisting road with lots of bends, taken up to 80 mph, then the last test was around the town.
now befour we changed the items my v6 petrol 2.5 allways ran at 93 only hitting the 100c when standing still.
only problem i have had is the coolant filler cap. again brand new from dmgrs when i went to open it up today to check all was well. the top of the cap broke off in my hand and left the valve part in the filler part of the tank.
