Or fit a proper gauge. Remember the 'normal' pointer on your dash gauge remains there from 75 - 115C. Not much help, eh.

I understand it is a warm place, but what worries me is how it’s loosing water. I plugged my diagnostic tester in (as suggested above - couldn’t manage to get the grips of the on board one) and within around 3 - 4 mins of driving from ambient temperature it had reached 93 degrees.
Now, I may be wrong as I don’t know much about these engines but that seems quite abit of a temperature rise for such a short period of time? I didn’t want to take it much further because of the coolant loss issue.
