anyone else had this problem?

What rad are you running?

its not the rad as i changed it for the 1.7td astra rad . im now thinking its the temperature stat giving of a wrong signal to the temperature gauge.

If your running the 1.7 temp sender and the 1.3 temp gauge they won't be calibrated together, giving a false reading.

ive ordered a digital one so should sort that problem out. Im fitting it along with a 200tdi rad
or would you leave the 1.6 vitara rad in??

As long as the rad is the correct rad for the engine and the fan is located correctly behind it i wouldn't change it again.

Just try a different / universal temp gauge

yeah i will get the gauge fitted see how it runs if not i got 2 option either t it off to the back and fit a spare rad and fan or change the one in it as i think the 200tdi is the largest one you can fi in the front.
ive just took the power steering pump out and instead of 2 belts am running on 1 now with my alternator sounds and runs sweet like this.

Why not just fit power steering?

personal opinion i prefer no power steering offroad you get a better feel!
