Hello Chaps!

I have a late 94 Griff that has a overheating problem. I know that these are common but here we go.

When the temperature reaches approximately 90 degrees C the fans cut in. If I am out on the open round the temperature remains around 90, but when in traffic it rises to circa 100 degrees and doesn't return to 90 until I hit the clear open road again. Also, if I cut the engine when it is reading 100 degrees and then turn the ignition back on striaght away without engaging the starter motor then it reads 90 degrees. Is this just a glitch?, could my thermostat need replacing?, is my temperature gauge faulty?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
