Hi, I have a 2003 Rover 75 1.8T SE petrol with about 56,000 miles on the clock. I had the head gasket done in 2011. Just after that there were a few coolant leaks as some tubes burst but once all leaks were plugged it's run very smoothly and quietly and still is today. I also had the problem of the temperature gauge dropping to zero a few years ago and got that replaced. That's the history, anyway a few months ago I noticed when I was doing 80 or 90 particularly downhill the temperature gauge would drop slightly from 9 oclock to about 7 or 8 o clock but when I got back to a normal speed it went back to 9. Today I noticed that nearly the entire motorway journey it was on 8 oclock, the faster I went the cooler the gauge got but when I idle or do 30 it's always bang on at 9 oclock. Anyone else seen this specific issue ?

Thanks
