Just been for a 10 minute drive.

Temps idling between 90-91, max 92.

I'll keep an eye on the levels and for any leaks.

Only thing that concerns me - assuming the OBD tool is correct - what kind of damage could have occured if the temps were actually at 118ish?

I doubt that reading is real. Certainly not likely with the cap off so atmospheric pressure.
 
Unrelated question, but does anyone know what this connector is for?
Been hanging disconnected since I got the rover. Driver side of the boot lining.

Trailer lights.
Thanks!

Been out today and drove about 20 miles total, all seems to be good so far.
I did smell some burning from under the bonnet, maybe because the heat shields are off?

I tried to check the coolant level when I got home, but now my bonnet won't open 😑 only pops on the passenger side!
 
Top hose was cold and squishy this morning.
No obvious leaks either, so fingers crossed.

Next issue is why my battery doesn't last more than a few hours, but I'll save that for another thread

My secret leak tracker is talcum powder, some leaks only show under pressure and by the time you stop and search the water has dried, (I spent months tracking a tiny pinhole in a heater hose that dribbled down to the top of the gearbox on our Disco 200Tdi), the trail thru the talc will at least point you in the general direction and maybe narrow down the search ...
