What is the water temperature gauge showing, if its running low it will probably be the thermostat.

Thanks. It was reading low temp the other morning but tonight when I went out it was reading normal and the heater was warm, not straight away though id been driving for around half hour then parked for an hour and within 10 mins of driving it was warm.

Thanks again
