Well topped up coolant.

Temps still climbing sky high acc to the dash. DM said send it in today and we'll have a look. Probably the system just needs bleeding, will take about 90 mins, have it turned round for you whilst at work and back before end of business day.

Crossed fingers.

What do you mean by sky high?
It's not uncommon to see up to 108 degrees on the dash according to TVR.
Hopefully it's just the sensor that's faulty as I had to have mine replaved for this reason.
As you say: fingers crossed.....

Good luck with that.

My water sensor went mad in searing heat in Italy. Luckily the fans still worked so no problems and the car got back to blighty without trouble.

Needless to say I'd be interested to hear what the problem is and also the fix.

Upto 120.

The fans then bring it down again.

Good luck - as per link in previous post, in September the fluid loss came from a small leak on the hoses, found one of the fans was not working as well - hence higher temps.
HHC sorted very quickly.
