right when i get in my car in morning withit been sitting there for 12hrs or so, when i put ignition on without start my temperature gauge moves up ! with it been sitting there 12hrs without being started so the engine is completly cold!

It should sit lower than that... Mine sits between 1\4 and half.

going to get a few opinions here ive seen many saxos sit around the same mark for a year plus...

o right my old 1.4 sat at half way and didnt move, but when i put ignition on in morning it didnt move till about 5mins of driving

could it be the temperature sensor giving out the wrong reading ?

mine sits at half, but if the cars been sat in the sun, may be abit warm when you start it, and if your sat in traffic, it creeps higher
