Title: Temperature gauge
Post by rob_reznik on May 13^th, 2014, 11:59pm

Changed thermostat and temp switch but gauge still occassionaly drops down a little before returning back to the normal 9 o'clock position (can't hear fans coming on) - from cold it also sometimes takes a little longer to get to the normal postion than I would expect - air coming out is very hot even when it does this so am suspecting there maybe another problem - any ideas?

Yes. Air in the system. Sounds like it needs to be bled again.
Have a read of this thread (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=admin;action=display;num=1267895712) which is in How to do Things. ;)

Cheers will give it a go - although I've done about 400 miles in it since I replaced thermostat I would have thought it would have been OK
