Yeah quite sure Paul has that one covered.

Spoke to Doug last night and I am sure he said there was an aftermarket gauge fitted which is great "BUT" at what temps am I looking at compared to cool, normal running, hot and OMG.

Dunno Bennie I am a die hard EA82 fan, I have never needed the top end speed, my max was 100kmh (I am getting old) and the reliability in the soft stuff at low revs (almost idle) showed you dont need to work the wagons hard.
As for the EA82 overheating I have had only a couple of times where it came close to 3 quarters on the temp gauge, did I mention anywhere how reliable it was, ( "Sighhhhh" I miss my Silver L ):(
I hope my next response after driving the new one (EJ) will be the same as above, I would hate to be a convert and have to eat my words.

Yeah that option may still be on the cards but only after a bonnet scoop goes on, was looking at either the Nissan or Toyota scoop.
