Are you using the instrument pack diagnostics digital display Brahim?

Does it read 82° when the car is being driven? At what speed?

As the car is being driven does the temperature vary depending upon road speed? By how much?

I always recommend the MG Rover method of refilling and bleeding which I post a lot. The Haynes version contains an error. The expansion tank bleed hose should not be disconnected as stated in fig. 27.38. I hope you didn't do that.

Ignore the 82° marking moulded into the thermostat housing. The thermostat inside is rated at 88°, or it should be; mine is.
