Hi Rich
Thanks for all the advice, I will her check tick over, though didn't seem from memory that high, but I did get out quite quickly! {and kiss the driveway}
I will order and fit a new thermostat and both sensors, no point playing at it.
even at 60-70 for 130 miles the needle only moved gradually off its bump stop and up too the bottom of the scale.
Big check day tomorrow, hopefully with more to report!
I keep popping out and lifting her cover, she a purdy one alright!
Anyone know about the Javan R1 on ebay, as it seems to be a clone of the 5exi but 5 times more expensive!!
cheers
Martin
