Went out for the final drive of the year, started down the motorway and noticed the temperature was higher than it should be. Luckily we live near a services where you can sneak off onto country roads. I was already suspicious as there seemed to be no heating even after driving 3 miles or so. The temp light came on and I shut the car off and let it cool down a bit. It had plenty of coolant in. After starting again after 5 mins, the heat was back and the temp mostly under control, so limped 10 minutes home.
The last time I drove it was a couple of weeks ago, 25 miles all motorway, and I noticed the temp gauge was sitting higher than normal though nothing that looked particularly scary. What's our most likely suspect here, thermostat? Water pump?
