If it was just the sensor, then the car interior would be toasty, but it rarely if ever is...

Thanks for reading through it all

I see what you mean about the blocking of the radiator, have done that myself in the past myself. But my thinking is the less coolant, flows through it, the less heat maintained in the coolant. 2 litres of coolant would retain the coolant temp longer. It is clutching at straws I know, and an odd theory.

My interior is toasty, I meant to state that in the above post. I will add that.
