Thanks.

So for reference the small arrow just above cold on gauge is 50 degrees C. When gauge is at 1/4 reading, so half way to vertical, coolant is 60 degrees C.

Drove for an hour and reached 60 degrees in traffic !!

Think it's time for hose mod !!

Well mine always sat at 1/4.
After the mod, it sits consistently at 1/2… bang in the middle.
