My Wedge runs hot. Normal is on the 90C mark, and in traffic on a hot day it will climb to the centre of the red before the fans kick in (and then it drops to just below the red). I don't know what temperature the engine actually is but it certainly feels hot. It sits about half way in the winter.
The thing is the car is happy and drives really well once at temperature. It has done this for the last year I've had it, and both the previous owners have told me it was like this with them.
Still seems wrong.....

That is perfectly normal. I used to own the sister car of yours, (yellow) modified by the same person as your car, and it did exactly what you are describing. I owned that car for two years and never had any problems. Also, my one was fitted with a secondary accurate tempreture gauge which proved that the original was innacurate. I have also owned a few other wedges before that and all had reading high temprature in traffic, but never overheating. It's worrying, I know, but as long as the fan kicks in and the engine runs happily, with no leaks, don't worry about it.Tony. TCB.
Thanks Tony. The car runs absolutely fine but the first time it climbed into the red I was a bit worried.
Glad to hear yours was the same.
