Ignorance is bliss!!
I run Torque on my phone for just about every journey now, showing volts and temp, seems a good habit to get into

Torque is one of two phone apps I've ever paid for. Not particularly because I needed the paid version, but the free one was so good I wanted to throw the dev a few quid.

Posting here as reference for anyone who isn't sure. From 99 and on the thermostat starts to open at around 85c±5 and isn't fully open until 96c. From RAVE

Yes this coincides with the intro of the Thor engine manageent system and the ever increasingly tight emissions regulations, to make it more efficient they made it run hotter..

The biggest killer of the RV8 isn't necessarily the cooling system it's more incorrect fueling that causes liner issues..

Well back to the drawing board.
Been working fine for ages and then suddenly overheated again after a few miles this morning

That doesn't sound right, working for ages, has that been long or short journeys?

Something simple like a hose connection leaking and letting all the pressure out?
