Hi, I have a Vauxhall Astra 2002 (52). It seems to take ages for the engine to start to warm up to ideal operating temperature (c10+ miles) and never gets up to the marker in the middle even after leaving to idle. It has also started to go cool down again and normally sits under the 1/4 marker even after 20 miles. Is this a problem and do you know the possible causes?
