   Basically what it is i have fitted a new radiator, since then, my vtr is not getting to temperature. If im driving hard it will get to just under the line, but as soon as a drop off the needle goes back to about a quarter of the way??
   
   The only time it has got to temperature is when i have left it standing but tht took abut 20 mins before the radiator kicked in.
   
   I have bled the system a couple of times and dont think there is any air left in there.
   
   any one got an idea what could be causing this??
   
   Cheers

   Sounds like your thermostat may be stuck open or missing.
