Temperature needle not sitting in the middle. Does this affect performance?

Change the stat, almost certainly that.
3 10mm bolts hold the housing in, and you only lose a litre or two of coolant changing it, just make sure in this weather that you top up with some antifreeze too not just water.

I have similar problem.
1 hour drive home from work, live data stream indicates coolant temp never went over 72 degrees C.
Was reading this forum last night so checked rev limit in second gear several times never revved over 6800.
Is it just thermostat, cts or change both?
Some pics: after 1hr drive.

CTS is far more reliable than the thermostat, so change the stat first, if it still doesnt get upto temp it *could* be the CTS so worth changing that as well at that point.
that's a s**t load of coolant! you stocking up?! lol.

BLT : i use this : http://www.launchtech.co.uk/enthusiast-diagnostics/c-reader-v
I managed to obtain one on ebay for £50, compatability varies from car to car but the official claim is "any OBD2 compliant vehicle 2001 or later for petrol & 2004 or later for diesel"
It works ok on most cars I have tried, although on the clio it only reads engine codes in the form of freeze data, it can turn off the engine light though and perform full data streams, I have used it previously on my old Saxo VTR, Helped me diagnose a duff map sensor and 2X lambda sensors( 1 on saxo 1 on clio) so worth the money in my opinion.
Oh and it enabled me to turn off the engine light on my saxo just before I part ex'd it for the Clio a few years ago.
Fatty: I will be giving the car a full flush whilst I'm in there, it simply made more economic sense to buy 2X5L containers as opposed to 2X1L & 1X5L. Won't hurt to have a bit spare either.
