Re: IGNITION WARNING LIGHT FLICKERING

May sound stupid but check the arial is in the back of the sterio all the way. For some resion if this comes loose it can have an effect on the dashboard from lights flickering to the whole thing packing up and the engine warning light coming on.

Re: cooling system

I thought of that 1 to the point of taping up the clip ends ect just incase it was them.
Its like someone is opening the bonnet and shoving a pin through the pipe.
Its well strange as its in the same stop every single time and the chances of that happening is well slim.

stupid question time

As some of you know I had heating problems which have now been solved but I do have 1 final question regarding it.
What temp should the car be running at.
The guage shows around the 90 to 95 mark. Is this normal.
Sorry it sounds stupid but ive got a bit paranoid about the engine temp now.
Thanks guys
