looks like the engines warm, under 1k revs.
when my engines just been started it's usually at around 1.2k revs. then drops to about 800.

It wasnt actually cold...i filmed it after about 10miles of driving but stopped the engine whilst waiting for my GF to get out of work...the temp gauge went down and didnt climb before i filmed it same with fuel guage.
Made the cold revving mistake once before and wouldnt do it again...

I can't remember the last time I saw a corsa with a working temp gauge

there all meant to run just over 90oC. Change your theromstat.
