what temperature did it go up to?
over 2/3's, under the max though, is that just normal?
it does that on mine, i do frequent 150 mile trips and it goes that high even when im not giving it some.
I beleive on a long run / hard drive it will go that high but no higher.
Im changing my gearbox oil soon, its not making noises but its best to do it - one of the major causes of the gearboxes to go in the 106's

bah, way to miss quote.................
is it the case that the engine in it already is probably the best base for any power you are going to get anyway?

The 1.6 TU engine is very good for modding, add a supercharged, turbo or TBs and 200bhp ATW is easily achevible even a simple set of cams, ramair filter and 4-2-1 manifold including decat can get you 160bhp (XE power) without ruining the brilliant handling
