Hi all, 
 
Looking for ideas please.

Since recent work my MGF VVC shows a worrying rise in coolant temperature when the car is idling, not moving.

The recent work was head gasket replacement (second one in four years of concession use), new thermostat and housing, conversion to waterless coolant. All work was done by specialist MG mechanic.

On the move, temp is rock steady, one notch below half on gauge, even with air con running. Idling at traffic lights or in slow city traffic, and with fans switched on (bypassed by previous owner and fixed by my auto electrician) temp starts to rise. If I can get on the move asap the temp returns to normal.

Has anybody else had the same issue and solved it please?

Thank you

Best regards

David L
