I didn't buy my thermostat, but I'm sure Phil Glennerster will be willing to talk to you (tel. +44 (0) 1189 340927).Mpringle wrote:And BTW, John-B, phill more,DavidS and Ian,

When driving at 70mph in hot weather my temp. gauge also shows at about 1.30pm position, slightly over the mid-point. Last year the electric fan did come on for a short while driving at 70mph and, as you said, shouldn't come on if you are driving fairly fast. I re-set the electric fan thermostat just a fraction higher and now it only comes on when idling for about five minutes on a hot day.
Phil said that it's not a good idea to set the electric fan to come on too high as it increases the range between cut-in and cut-out, which means the cut out temp is lowered, which might mean that although it will cut-in at a higher temp. the coolant never gets low enough to turn it off!
