Driving to work this morning the temp guage seemed to be moving quite quickly between 80-90 and back down again as fans cut in...No real problem but the guage was moving up to 90 and then down the 80-85 faster than it normally does...ie watching it moving as normally it creeps up to 90 and back down to 85...

Ca is a 5 ltr Chim

Probably nothing and I thought due to the warmer weather the fans are moving the air under the bonnet more possibly? Any thoughts...

No air in the system, just rung Fernies and they said that it is nothing to worry about as the Fans are cutting in and out as normal...

Glad to hear that, it didn't sound too bad really.

As a footnote, it depends how you read this. In warmer weather the fans will move less air in any given time period that they are on but they will be on a lot more.
