i was driving home from work this afternoon, bout 80 down the m60, i had the heater on full, noticed that i'd got a bit warm looked at the speedo, had the temp light blinking, looked at the guage it was in the red, i turned the heater off and moved over to the inside lane dropped down to 50 mph, i was by the junction for the m62 headed towards worsley for those who know it so there is no hard shoulder for a while, keeping my eye on teh temp guage and it dropped right down to where it normally rests, about 90 degrees.
i took it to a friends garage and he said it could possibly be the water pump, and told me to keep my eye on it. i drove the next 5 miles home with out a problem. i've been out this evening and put the heater on and it won't blow out hot air, its barely warm, and again i noticed the temp creaping up so i turned it off again and it resumed its normal position, have any of you had this before??
