I took my Series 3 2 1/4 Diesel on its first proper run since I rebuilt it today.
I did sixty miles in all, with 50 or more of those miles being at 50mph.
Something I noticed was that the temperature gauge did seem to move a fair bit.
When running for a while it would hit about 2/3rds of the way up the gauge and stay there, but would drop when driving with the engine at lower RPM.
Is this normal for a Series? I'm comparing it to modern cars where the gauge usually sits at a certain point once the engine is warm and doesn't change much.
Thanks for any replies.
