Was just wondering if I'm on the right lines
Engine temp can hit 90-95 pretty quickly but then rapidly falls to 80~ then rises to where it usually sits just shy of 90
Hit and miss but most of the time blows cold air
Engine fans come on at around the right time usually but has also came on when the temp is around 80
Odd one just wondering if anyone could shine a light on the subject

You reckon? I'm yet to look tbh but what's the best way of getting that sorted? Just re bleed the system?

I've got the same issue - I'm pretty sure it's the stat that usually causes it.
