My car seem's to be over heating, well so it says on the dash, and then will drop to either cold, or just 90...
It seem's to cut a bit of power when it says its over heating, and i have to drop down a gear..
Its a 1 litre..
Any ideas. ta

Mine was similar to this a while back, turned out to be a sticking thermostat, mine's a 1.2 16v too so they both use the same thermostat.

No mate, if it's that you'll need a new thermostat, they're not much, works out just over £15 from Autovaux, delivered.
