Matt's thermostats are much better quality than the circoli item I tried before, and I'm now getting temperatures up to 89 although only briefly. It seems to stabilize at 85, rather than 79-80 like it was with the circoli.

Hopefully that will make a difference - it certainly has to the heater, it's incredible how much difference a few degrees makes.
Fingers crossed.
I may not be grinding them down forever, as some silicone lubricant (or equivalent) is good at getting them in too. It's more about the decent quality 'stats than anything else.

Let me know how you get on.
