sports do this normally in traffic, should come down when the fan kicks in though

check your coolant level, could be low

look under the oil cap for mayo, this would be headgasket

Or mayo in the coolant, or mayo on the dipstick, or, if it's smoking like fook.

its smoking a good lot and drinking the oil but i thought thats maybe to do with it being decatted...

its not in traffic its while driving... theres a slight touch of mayo under the coolant cap but not much...

The best bet is to do a compression test. If the head gasket goes, the compression is lost in the cylinders. I'm not too sure of the pressures they should be at, but someone should be able to help.
