Normal running 84-88, rose briefly to 94 but that was climbing a steepish hill in third gear, and it soon dropped back to the mid 80's.

At destination with the engine running, the reading was a steady 84 after five minutes.

Leaving the engine running for ten minutes after arriving home is not really practical as I only have on street parking. It was 84 when I switched it off.

The run was on mostly minor roads with a maximum speed of about 50mph, but with plenty of up hill and down dale.

Hi Paul.
It look like your original thermostat is working as it should, the temp is about right for this time of year, it would most likely be in the 86C to 88c in the summer time, you should also be getting some decent heat from the A/C thank you for reporting back to us.
