Hey guys, recently put a new engine in my LC, driven it around 60-70miles now but today on my way to work noticed the temp guage was staying between 70-75 degrees (when I got to work about 12 miles) it funnily reached 90 degrees the interior was still getting warm with the heater on

When got to work lifted the bonnet to check out my coolant level (little bit keen on keeping an eye on my collant level since my last engine mishaps) and the coolant level had increased?!

Is it possible it was an airlock or somthing like that obviously I'm gonna be keeping a watchful eye on this

I also replaced the coolant temp sensor recently with an original green top one possible to be faulty? Have got a spare may swap it tonight and see tomoz.

Any help would be appreciated

Jason

I'm guesing that the stat would be stuck open a bit yea? Would it cause any issues driving it like this tonight?

I changed the thermostat to the known working one from my old block I also changed the cts and I'm still having this funny guage issue if I leave it to idle it will reach 90 no probs when I'm about driving it fluctuates

Any thoughts? Car drives lovely
