hi all update it was working alright today? could this be my problem? http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/79782-coolant-leak/ believe it or not i totally forgot about this lol

Thanks for the reply mate I did ask the guy who worked on the car for the timing belt he did say the new thermostat would sort it out? it does warm up quickly and If i don't put the heaters full it would stay in the middle so I just put the heaters on auto and leave the temp set to about 22 The fans do work when it overheats Thanks

I also did do the reset

Hi all update I've got the thermostat changed and water pump and timing belt done but it warms up ok but when put the heaters on it slowly goes down? Fans are working too can anyone shed some light on this

Thanks mate

Hi mate thanks for reply how could I check for thermostat

Hi all Has anyone experienced the temperature gauge taking long to warm up I mean its not that cold here in Birmingham there's no problems with the car the heaters work fine its just that the temperature needle sits at the 3rd or 4th mark for a long time and when it does get to the middle if I put the heaters full it slowly comes down again Is this normal or am i going nuts lol Thanks guys
