Thermostat now purchased- hopefully get it fitted this weekend, and see how the temp is then. Maybe grab some pics of some other parts I've acquired..
I'm hoping for a rock steady 90 degrees indicated, with the engine getting there quicker

Thanks!
Had a very productive day today:
Picked these up for £50
Boge Gas turbo dampers, with lowering springs 
they're off a mk2 golf Gti 16v, but fit the mk3. Should be about a 40mm drop- sensible and comfortable!

Nice. Seems like you're gonna hit, or maybe even break, the 4L/100km barrier soon...

I dunno about that, I'm almost a litre off it..
The thermostat should help, and lowering wont hurt- we'll see!
Next aim is to get to 60 (imp) mpg whilst on 30% or more veg oil...

you're a liter off, but also you almost have no aeromods!
I think that you can reach the 3 L/100 km barrier!

If he wouldn't have an objection to try some fiberglass body panels and narrower tyres, would be easy to reach that barrier... |

While you are servicing your car, make sure to adjust the nut behind the steering wheel. That one next to tire psi and a grill block pays the most mpg gains.
