what temperature shoukd my turbo 2000 rb5 1999 plate be running at seems to get to running temp quickly and stay there! fans kick in but short bursts temp gauge is about half way prosport gauge reads 90 to 100 degrees oil temp bout same if driving does rise in standing traffic but smells and feels hot!

Mine runs at just on the lower side of half, I've got a new radiator though. Welcome btw, nice to see someone on my side of the hills lol

Thanks pal lower side of half is about right just feels and smeels hot under bonnet your nearly my neighbour in lancsashire bud!

Not a problem, you can't have power without heat really. I remember it scared me a bit because everytime I got back home I could smell that the engine is very hot but it is normal. Aye, just a stones throw away! You should take a quick look at the NBO thread, it's on the 29th June at Ripon.
