Also I'll agree with Simon your car seems to be running cold it should be around 95C° I've had a similar problem and I think a few members of the forum have pointed out that replacement thermostats as of late seem to make cars run cold. I went through 3 thermostat last year because I had a cold running issue. The second one made my car run at about 78-82C° similar to yours and my heater performance was appalling.

I understand it's a bit cool, but 95 seems worryingly high to me.
Traffic here in great Yarmouth is dreadful at 9 and 16:00, and if I was driving my 75 at around 95, it would continuously be tripping the cooling fan when I stop at lights. I've learnt this isn't really the car to be sitting in traffic with.
