Well just as I thought just got off the from the garage they say they have had the car runnin on idle for 20mins the needle goes half way but as soon as they drive it the needle moves right down to the bottom he said the engine is getting to cold and making he needle go down he said it's nothing to worry about it wld be diff if it was the otherway round he said he has orderd another part he says there is 2 sensers he said they only replaced one ...... I said right and if they are not going to work he said anew thermostat which are expensive and be banged on about warranties I said hang on I reported his when I first got the car go the feeling if I is the whole thermostat hey won't repalace

Defo your thermostat mate. To many people on this forum have had the same excact problem of the needle dropping down.

New thermostat will cure the problem.

That's what thought but I know for a fact they won't change it as it's expensive it's annoying tho when you pay £6500 for a car ud expect it to be all ok they'll say something to get out ov replacing it

Defo thermostat - they are playing you about.
I got my thermostat (genuine) for about £30 and took an hour to fit! So for the sake of a few pennies to the dealership they are out of order - especially if you reported it when you purchased it!

Im taking its a 1.9 - if so they should sit and stay at 85c regardless of driving or not.

Check out the how to's, it's a very easy job, and a thermostat (not including the housing) will cost about £10 from a motor factors.

Have you got proof you reported it at the time of purchase? If you have, tell them that either they can do it as promised or you'll report them to trading standards
