cheers pete..my dial needle takes ages to move then it goes back. if i go on a long run like i just did the needle stays at cold but then it moves up but then goes bck to cold if that makes sence to you...John

if the needle is moving up and down as you travel it sounds like a thermostat problem, remember on the tdci there are two of them.
