I do run a remap and having swapped my intercooler for a larger one I noticed a 2-3 degree drop over previous figures. I recently sat at between 70-85mph for over 7 hours on European motorways in an ambient temperature of 24-26 degrees and my temperature never rose above 88 degrees. Also the temperature drops quicker from hard driving when reverting back to slower speeds.

Hi what do you think i have just put a set of 235 tyers on mine and noticed the temp climb over 90 and iam not towing my van do you think the freelander 2 thermostat would be the go cheers Tim  Cess the Taswegian

Thanks Andy,

That is exactly the type of info I am looking for. There was a concern that the Puma was running too cold at 80degC but I am now starting to feel better about it.

That is pretty much exactly what we have found after the thermostat mod. Normal temps in the low 80's and then when pushing hard up long hills it will still climb towards the 100deg mark but not nearly as often as it used to previously.

right ive tried the lower temp thermostat which is a gray one 82o with light spring

only done one shortish run so far results using scangauge

yes is running cooler before would see temps of about 86-90 now about 80-84 mainly 82ish

seemed to take longer to warm up (but maybe never really taken notice of it before )

temp seemed to go up and down by few degrees when warming up (but maybe never really taken notice of it before )

once warmed up seemed to stay bit more steady , but when you put your foot down temp dropped within few seconds by few degrees

temp going up and down bit when first warming up could be bit of air in system ( level has dropped a bit after the run )

don't know about towing as not done any , but before I felt that maybe temp (maybe see 94-96 on a hill ) was up a bit more then I would have liked when towing before

dash gauge never showed any drops or rises as they not that sensitive I think as normally centre postion has quite a large range
