Hi all I have been reading up on the Bowden cable adjustment and I decided to have a look at the one on my 1990 190 (2.0 ) and noticed that there was a long length of cable going from the front of the adjuster ( could nearly be measured with a ruler ) to the ball. I adjusted it so that...

I recently had a new thermostat fitted to my V-reg E320 CDi as the engine was running cool. Now when it has fully warmed up, the gauge is clearly but not excessively above 90 degrees, i.e. there is a clear but small gap between the needle and the 90 degree. Should/could this been an issue...
