That tells us that you have a fault. The KV6 should run below 100 degrees C. I suggest that you perform the 'demist test' immediately. With the engine running from cold, press the 'windscreen demist' button on the air con./heater control panel. Now get out of the car and walk to the radiator grille. Is the fan running continuously?

Whilst you're there, can you see a rectangular silver resistor on the fan shrouding at about the two o'clock position?

Charlie, you must take action immediately on this. Your engine is getting too hot. Please report back.

Evening have just done the demist test and the fan runs continuously. I have also have a gold resister fitted as well.
