Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

At start up it's right, but by the time the engine's warmed up, it starts creeping up. Highest I've seen it was 40 degrees C, which probably isn't right for Berkshire in October. :? Everything else is fine (apart from I'm driving everywhere too damned quickly! :twisted: Anyway, is it likely to be a loose wire or something more technical (read £££)? Migration info.

Sorted. Took the nose off, released the wire which was trapped, fitted it where it should be, refitted the nose. Still preferred it when it was 40 degrees C though... Migration info. Legacy thread was 19726
