Had classic thermostat issue of taking ages to warm up. Occasionally in traffic gauge would dip below 90.
Changed for ECP type (odd: gasket around the thermostat perimeter). Lost quite a lot of fluid and ran car with reservoir top off to bleed system.
Now warms up quicker and heater useful much earlier. BUT: only holds 90 if heater not engaged. If heater on dips well below, even at speed.
Anyone offer advice?
Many thanks.
