Yes, that's a possibility. Just wondered though, are thermostats like they always were, or has the technology moved on since the 1970s?
I'm monitoring it now and just letting it do its own thing a bit (rather than panicking and turning the heating up high!).
I do around 35 miles each way to and from work; 22% on A&B roads; 28% on dual carriageway and 50% on motorways (although that isn't always quick!). And pretty much in that order going and the reverse order coming home.
In the morning, it gets up to 90C pretty quickly and stays there until I start the run of traffic lights through Dumbarton. Then it starts to rise. It falls at higher speeds on the motorway and dual carriageway, and rises again when I get stuck in slower traffic.
But it's not risen above the section marker above 90 (whatever that represents - what is the point of these if you don't know what they mean?) so far, so I'm not overly concerned yet.
