Over cooling?

[True Original]

ok had a leak in the rad of my M95 RSi, that a water leak not the vegtable. fixed that with some rad weld, but now it seems to not run too hot, even the heaters on hot seem a bit cool....

is this just cos of the cold weather? just dont seem right.......

Tried beeding the system, and the levels are all good. anything else?
