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

10 mins sounds about right to me my old SRi used to take longer than that!

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!
