I’ll have a gander. Sounds like a bearing to me.

Anyone had this before?

Can tell if it’s coming from under the dash or closer to the honey pot.

Yes I feel we could go on and on about running temp of a grey. And I agree that thermostat has just raised the operating temperature. I was told to keep it around 80 degrees from my then mechanic and that’s where the gauge has sat for 15 years and I have had very few problems. But if ...

Thanks Blacky,

I was under the impression the greys like running around 80c. I’ve tried to find the operating temp in my Gregory’s but to no avail. I’ll just roll with this thermostat then.

Seems funny that my engine has been running colder than usual with the recommended thermostat though…..

Ok so months later I think I’m close to solving this problem. There was indeed an earthing problem which fixed the temp gauge rising up and down erratically.

But before this was solved I took the car to a mechanic to check if the engine was overheating and he ended up putting in a 81c thermostat ...

Thanks gents,
