Quick question fromexperience how long does or should it take my motor to heat up... Cause when trying to set the temp for the fans we left it idle for 20 min with heater and A/C pumping and the motor temp never got above the blue zone :S, im starting to think that temp gauge could be out, cause i limped it home from Doncaster and it never got above the same area either. This normal?

Pics will be up soon .
Sounding good so far. As for the temp not getting there, it was common for some people to take out the thermostat in cars that had overheating problems in the old days. I would check to see if you have one. If not, get one. If you do have one, it may need replacing.
