I'm sure you did Tony, you ok?
Better now than i have been. Will PM you.
I'm sure you did Tony, you ok?
You have still not answered the question from post #9, with all this going on where is the temp gauge needle indicating.
I would think to put some silver foil over the front grill.
No way its going to warm up in a 2 mile run.
How long have you had it?
It maybe running with a modified always open stat to mask a problem.
Time to have a look at the thermostat I think.
When I had issues, only the genuine LR state did the job.
I fitted Datatek fan mod also and the vehicle was so much better.
I hope you tell us you have had it years and this is the first winter causing you issues.

Around 10 o'clock.
Maybe you don't have a thermostat.
I tell lies. Just at the right hand edge of blue after 25 minutes.
Mine was under cooling and rarely getting above the blue on the temp gauge until I had a water leak on the Water pump. As everything was off I replaced Thermostat at the same time. It now runs with the gauge steadfast at 12 o'clock.
I think the main question is still how long is it running for when you take your wife to work. I can get to 2+ miles away from home quite quickly as I am almost on a dual carriage way and not give the coolant time to warm up.
So it would seemYou don't have a thermostat.
