I suppose I'm thinking back to my petrol Volvo and various other cars with less substantial blocks. I guess that they heated up more quickly.

Yes. That is what I undestood from your older posts. I'm not thinking of a total failure, just that over time the springs properties may have changed and that it is opening at a lower temp than it would have done when new, diverting all that nice warm water to the rad. I'm a bit surprised...

Sadly I don't.

'ow quick an' 'ow much?

My wife's place of employment is 2.1 miles from home so please be a bit more constructive.

That's why @wammers post interested me. Effectively the heater matrix heats before the overall coolant temp comes into play. Until the stat opens, it is a very short circuit and the cabin should warm almost immediately. If the stat is opening early, that benefit is lost. So, even if the...

Read through a number of the old posts on this, particularly noting @wammers description of how the heater matrix is unregulated in order to give a fast cabin heat up. Even after a two mile drive, Nanocom tells me that the coolant temp is around 60C. Grateful for confirmation that, after 22...

Clever lot these techies.

Not strictly speaking true. They make up their income by fining folk for the most minor transgressions. Having said that, the inner boroughs and city (for @JohnM70) are exceptionally clean for a high density metropolitan area.

Hope not.

This is an annoying one. It doesn't sound like a heavy component and sounds like it is in the engine bay towards the right (looking at the car from the front). Mainly at low speed but stops when stationary, which makes having a look with the bonnet up tricky. Although it only happens when...

Please acknowledge @brianp38dse . He was the one who bailed me out on this one Please update if the new switch resolves the problem.

Here we go NANOCOM - EDC.APP - EDC faults file BRAKE PEDAL SWITCHES INCORRECT OPERATION Type: INVALID FAULT,MAJOR FAULT,LOGGED,INTERMITTENT RPM = 33 WATER TEMP = 74 OCCURRANCE = 7 --- Although that might not help you as mine is a diesel.

If it's the switch, the fault doesn't show in the Waco section. Now you're going to ask where it does. I cant remember but will have a look when I can.

I'm confident that Shere Khan is going to pay for it to be converted to electric. He's just waiting for the battery technology to make it a viable alternative with a decent range. If he doesn't, I will maintain my current opinion of him as being a poisonous midget.

That sounds similar to the thing @Turboman suffered a while back. Grateful if you'd stick around for as long as I've got the P38. I think that it goes tax exempt in 2035 so it might start appreciating then. It would be nice to get my money back on it.

Just like old times.

Passed on re-test today. The very nice gentleman waived the partial re-test fee as well.

Well, of course you should be back permanently. You're the only one to counter @wammers when he's on a stridency march.

Done. It worked! Three cheers for Landy zone and four for @brianp38dse ! I'm not even missing that bloody yellow warning.
