Not scaremongering but I don't think he even changed it. The old star should not be dry and have cobwebs in it! I would be straight back there
Just been out for a 30 mile journey including 10 miles on a mway and temp did not get past 80 degree on the mway. around town occasionally it hit 85 degrees but then went back down to 79/80 degrees as to what I originally was getting

I will definatly be phoning him on Monday but tbh I dont trust that garage and dont want to take it back there. I am certain that the stat hasnt been changed. i just need to have a look at it on the car as I made a couple of marks on the new stat

But I cant seem to locate it, so if anyone can point me in the right direction so I can check it and to see if a new one has been fitted and then I can take some pics and take it as proof
