Should the temp needle move??

Post by 1_eyed_jim »

Replaced the high beam warning light with success but today I've been on a 8 mile journey around hope valley and I noticed the temp needle all the way to the left. I know it's cold out there but it should move a little surely?

Regardless of how cold it is outside, it should always be roughly in the middle after about 15 minutes of the engine running. You must have disturbed summat when doing the high beam tell tale bulb :evil:

Wagonbuild thankfully had a good condition one in stock. Hopefully I'll get that by Friday (LPG fitting day!!)
