Once up to temp about five miles of fast and slow work should show a problem, like a garage road test

I will let you know how it goes , I am going to try a long run at the weekend although I have other issues with dodgy TVR electrics which may stop me. I have a lot of trouble getting up to temp only really goes up under heavy load or stuck in traffic , do these engines always run cool ?. I also think that I probably have crap in the tank as when I took fuel filter off it was full of rust , I have replaced so will keep an eye on it. I suspect my problems sound similar to the other thread relating to the racing not running right . Is there an easy clean method as my tank can only come out through the car or by removing the rear window.

The needle should sit around the centre of the gauge when up to temp, if it doesn't get up to temp your thermostat is suspect.
