I agree with FJ12. The fan coming on is not a problem. Mine comes on regularly in traffic in 35 deg C heat and can stay on for a while when stopped at lights. I find the fan comes on when the gauge goes up by 1 bar but doesn’t go up any further thanks to the fan. Keep an eye on your temperature gauge and you’ll soon get used to it. It also takes a while to drop back to normal when moving again.

For the money that she paid, I thought that they would offer to include mine for free!

However, I was given a very comfortable chair to sit in whilst waiting and coffee in a proper cup was served, so most boxes were ticked.

Tomorrow we have to visit Honfleur for souvenir shopping, I have been informed.

A final update on this matter.

I've been travelling around the local area today (wife wanted a new hair style, shopping at a nearby Hypermarket etc) and having passed a number of filling stations, all seems well with no queues and all fuel types advertised on their signs as available.

I hope that the Old Gits have a really good journey.

Thanks for the final update. That's great news. 

I hope your wife found the new hairstyle she wanted, especially with Matt claiming the old one!

Seconded.

After cleaning mine last month it rides at 3 bars when pushing on, climbs to 4 on occasion and then in town the fan comes on and it hits 5 bars but the fan always brings it down. I'm happy with that performance.

There were/are two 'pristine' Motorsports on eBay but both had more rot than my 2012 and that was with less than 5,000 miles...
