Cooling water rather high temp.

In the experience of many, if in sound condition most 7s run too cool. Summer is the acid test; get the engine up to temperature (a minimum of 5 miles) and then tackle flat out the steepest and longest hill you can find. If it's not boiling at the top, all is well. I live in the Peak District where, for most of the time one is either going up or down. Even with their fan belts off, none of my 7s overheat if kept moving.
