The operating temperature of your actual thermostat will be marked on it. on it somewhere. Note the word "start" both times, you obviously didn't read the answer. BTW, theres no wax in your thermostat. I won't bother next time, like Miles says, buy the manual if the answer aint good enough :boggle:

	well i'd rather post a question on help and mod advice for free, than go n buy a haynes manual for £20, dont take it to heart

	I wasn't being sarcy, i was just pointing it out that it is in the haynes in an attempt to help. Im sure most people on here that have a haynes dont know it is.

	I've no idea what thermostat wax is, but as a general rule, the thermostat should open at about 100 degrees C. If you take it out and hang it on a piece of string in a pan of water, heat the water and the 'stat should start to open just at or before the water boils. To be technical, on a SOHC engine, it starts to open at 88 degrees and fully opens at 106 degrees. On the DOHC it starts to open at 92 degrees and fully opens at 107 degrees. The operating temperature of your actual thermostat will be marked on it. on it somewhere.
