There is an explanation of how the temperature gauge works at the bottom of the first page of this thread - https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic19314.ht...nt+cluster

I agree with Simon. It's nothing to do with the change of grill. It's either the gauge or the thermostat. |

These figures seem to tally with ones alex_pescaru presented in the thread I linked to above and show clearly that a steadily rising temperature wouldn’t be apparent until the temperature had reached over 118 degrees and the needle had flipped to hot. By which time it might be too late! Definitely merit in installing Alex's modified file to give a linear gauge. |

sadly I have to admit that techie stuff is way beyond me, but I will consider getting the thermostat replaced pretty soon and see what happens.

If your changing the thermostat, wouldn’t it be a good idea to change the coolant temp sensor

what actually can go wrong with a thermostat? Just looks like a couple of plastic tubes to me . . . |

Why not just buy a cheap OBDII reader and ask the car, seriously in this day and age changing parts to find a fault can cost a fortune.
