Just had it changed and the temp seems to sit about 3/4 all the time except for an occasional drop to 1/2 way, will this settle down?

maybe there is air in the system mate, though really the garage should have checked for that

in the mornin, take the cap off the exp tank and run the car, let it warm up a bit until the stat opens and lets water into the rad

leave it and let it cool down, some of the air should have come out but there is a bleed screw on the top of the radiator IIRC, open that until just water comes out, no bubbles

wait for a second opinion though, im still a bit new to these valver engines lol

Mines runnong a little hotter latley. Could be down to the weather being slightly warmer the past week. They run hot anyway. Wait till ya get to summer, you will have ya blowers on full tryin to keep it cool. lol

A tad over the 1/4 mark, very nice normally, which is why i expected it to be the same as before.
