When the engine has been allowed to cool over night remove the coolant cap and have a sniff for exhaust gases, believe me, if the hg has gone you'll smell it.
Thanks Ched

Yep the oil cooler bypass is on my list of things to try, however whilst i know what is involved I don't know the specifics like what do I use to connect the two pipes to create the bypass. Presumably its just a standard pipe from a plumbers but what is the size and spec?
