Mmm thanks,Im still getting warm and cold air so nothings amiss there its just strange,I initially put it down to my trips to and from work which are 30 miles of A road and the air rushing over the rad keeping it lower.But its just been round town and its low again.
Is is a big job?

Its a 1749cc D9.
Another thing,it does get to 90 at idle but moves down again when moving.

Its sorted,I took the expansion tank cap off,started the car,squeezed the rad top hose and screwed the lid back on.Voila.
