that's it : 90 - 92 to 94 at consistent high speed cruising (say consistent 3,000 RPM) rising to 108 when kicking on through the B roads - have seen 110+ in a traffic jam in summer

Your temps sound normal to me. I hit about 130 once ( 8O ) after a hard drive when in need of an oil change!

My MFA reads about the same between 80-90 then rarely goes over 100 even when driven hard, but then I have just changed oil and flushed it, changed water pump, thermostat, hoses, flushed the system and put new G012 Coolant in so Im happy with that
