Ok. Engine runs fine but temp gauge needle gets to the middle of the gauge
quite quickly. It doen't go any higher than middle though BUT, I have not had
the car on a seriously long drive like over twenty miles so, I have no idea if
this car heats up really quick due to the exhaust being infront of the engine
rather than behind it. I do know that is takes more than a mere seven mile
journey to get a car up to operating temps.

Does anyone have the same happening with their 1983/4 Mazda 626 LX, is this what
is meant to happen etc? Or is there a problem? Wotcher all fink?

Oh, and the fan comes on within a couple of miles..........That tends to tell me
somethign is not quite right!
