yep, left it idleing in the driveway, and sure enough the thermos come on like they are supposed to, but as i said, shut down way to early.
was thinking thermostat, but the symptoms dont really match...
will try cleaning up the sensor a bit, but it was replaced not long before i got the car, and if its poo'd itself again then its probably good insurance to have a manual over ride anyway.
also getting the cooling system flushed again, because i still see bits of stopleak every now and then in the radiator.
when i first got the trx the temp gauge sat aboout the 1/3rd mark, since ive done the rad' swap its hovers round the 1/4 mark, until i stop at the lights or get caught in slow traffic, then it slowly creeps up to just above half, sometimes a little higher.
its definitely getting hot though, you can smell that hot coolant smell lol.
