Water - 90-95
Oil 70-90 (depending on whether moving or in traffic)
Oil Pressure 40-50 on the move and 10-15 on idle

Thank god for that!
I just drove my Tam for the first time and I could see the water temp at 92 - thought I was going to overheat...

There is an error code constantly beeping, but I can't read it as I need a new display...it beeps less frequently once the car has warmned, but it stays pretty much all the time.

Same as Zippee for me also. With the weather at the moment i wouldn't worry until you see 100+ degrees on the move.

As the coolant temp hits 93-ish the first fan comes on, then around 98 the second fan comes on. Make sure they're working - sometimes you can hear them, but obviously you can see them if you look.

Note: sometimes temp readings can be different to real temp. 2 sensors - 1 for the ECU, 1 for the dash.

Also remember that the pod readings aren't that accurate and also read every second so you can often see constant fluctuations in temp.
Mine (despite a new sensor) overreads by 5-6 degrees. When showing 95 or so on the pod the actual coolant temp read via laptop and ECU is around 90.

Yes, They are out (too high) by about 4 Degrees. So 98 is approx 94 when wired up corrctly to computer.
