installed a new thermostate yesterday as i was adding a new veg oil heater .
my stat was stuck half open so now it reaches temp quickly now,which is good news as been running cold for sometime
I couldnt see any bleed points on the cooling system, are there any?
second question temp guage sits at 2/3rds now which is fine. just wondered where everyone elses sits?
should say that was at 70mph on the clock this morning down the M4. i run an eletric fan which in traffic this morning will bring the temp down a tad, no smoke or bad running just thought maybe an airlock but ive done 60 miles so cant see there beinga problem but thought id check

bleed screw on top of the rad towards the nearside.
-
anythink from 1/4 to 2/3 is ok
-
yeah know the one you mean , the rad mounting isnt quite level so cant undo, might be able to slacken enough to bleed

got the IR tempature probe on it and on the thermostat housing it on 88 degrees seeting 3/4 up the normal working bar i have the type with a gap between the nromal stripe and the red.
i will seek a lower temp thermostat tomorrow , be nice to run 8 degrees cooler. blah blah
