Yeah, it does sound hot. Mine runs at the 80 to 82 mark whether trundling along lanes or pelting down the M1.
I'll bet your radiator is clogged with mud - I know mine is hence the removal and cleaning planned for Sunday. Should only take an hour or so.
Great scenery byw - I bet there were a few "wft?" moments from passers-by - always fun

Welcome home Crotch!
Looks like a lovely cottage. I love Cornwall this time of year, but wouldn't go in the height of summer if you paid me!!!!
I've got my Scangauge now and just in the process of setting it up. Any tips greatfully received!
And yes agree with the others - 93 does sound a bit hot, but if it's maximum then probably ok. What temp does it cruise at?

its normally around 80 - 82 to be honest but on the motorway it was hanging around the 87 degree mark. It was bloody hot yesterday thoughPlus the aircon on 100% of the time too, may not help?

about the heat thing... i have no idea what mine runs at because i dont have a scangauge..but i recently modded my hood insert to help, because mine seems to run really hot...
i added 1/2 inch spacers on all the of back bolts of the insert...i have pictures but my internet doesnt work at home yet.
just a thought though...helps a lot at highway speeds

Cool pictures! It’s good to see you left your MTs on for the trip.

Thats a damn good idea !!!

its really nice because its subtle too...
i unbolted the whole thing...cut a triangle shaped hole in the middle of the hood (triangle to fit between the supports), then when i remounted the insert i cut 1/2 PVC pipe spacers and added them to the rear/center 4 bolts...(there are 2 holding the washers on and 2 holding the insert to the hood in the middle)
i was originally going to shim all 6 rear bolts, but i decided it might look better if the insert just had a little 'bow'...
ill get pictures up asap (as soon as my internet is working)
