cheers for the replies, two days into ownership and what can i say??? should have bought one years ago when i had the chance brilliant brilliant cars.........one more question tho, where on your temp gauge does the needle sit? mine sits around half way while driving about town then moves up on the motorway??? odd....flushed the coolant system and fitted a new thermostat but still the same.....

cheers checked rad cap, seems fine, just noticed that i dont have a tray underneath engine? was told this was essential for the cooling of the rad? could this be causing the high temps on the motorway?
