Hi, my 1996 Discovery 300 TDI does not run at tempature. What I mean is that the gauge does not reach half way, it runs about a quarter of the way up, if that. Does anyone know why this is and is it a major problem? It runs fine and the heater works ok.

Check to see if the thermostat is actually there and if it is working properly,also possibly the viscous fan is "locked up" as well , both will give overcooling . Regards Jonathan

You need a new thermostat - about £4 from Paddock Spares. Takes 10 mins to fit.
