Silly question I'm sure. Off to see a speed six Cerbera today. What should the temperature dials on the dash be reading?

Cheers

It's a TVR so all are different.
Mine runs normally around 70-75 and fan comes on at around 95, it never goes overe 100 as the fan brings it down. Once warm and stood for a while, the gauge does go over 100, but as soon as you start it, that will come down.
When from cold, the gauge will rise to around 75, then the thermostat opens, it then goes down to 65 and then back up to 70-75 depending on how hot the day is.
Oil pressure when cold goes up to around 50-60 and just over 40 when warm, on idle its around 10.
Like I say, it's a TVR and all will be different.

Don't relay on the dials to give absolute temps, they can only tell you whether it's getting hotter or cooler.

If you want to know the actual coolant temp you need to connect to the diagnostics.
