In these summer months, my trusty 1.2 8v still takes around 10 minutes to warm up correctly and get to 90c. Is there something wrong with it? I swear it never used to take that long!

10 mins is hardly a long time to warm up fully, surely

Yep, same for my 1.4 8v. These older engines take a while longer than newer ones to warm up, normal though.

Just wondered really. I wondered if it was a sign of the thermostat packing up. It used to take a bit longer to get warm, that's why i wondered. It will probably take even longer in the winter!
