Guys
Would appreciate your suggestions on the following. Water temp gauge has recently started to sit at around 65 to 70 degrees (max) and falls to the bottom of the guage when going fast on the motorway (pointing towards failed thermostat?). This has been joined by the revs rising to 2000rpm when starting from cold before settling down to idle (pointing to faulty temp sendor?).
HOWEVER - Temp sendor and thermostat were both replaced by me with new ones from GSF last year. Car had been running fine for months with these until a couple of weeks ago when problems described above started.
Oil temp is normal at around 90 to 100 degrees.
2nd thermostat and temp sendor within the year required do we think or any other explanations?
