Choice of thermostat

[AndyR100]

I use hardboard to blank off half the rad in Winter - cable-tied into place until March usually

I have never found the need to blank off the rad, or to change my 88° thermostat winter to summer (you don't change it in modern cars do you?)

The engine always warms up to the same temperature. It may take a little longer to get there in winter - but not much longer. 

Maybe it's because I've got a proper TR

No doubting that you have a proper TR  

Using mine for daily commute (admittedly not as often at the mo!) I like to have the best opportunity for as much heat as possible available to the heater - I must be a softy, but it seems to work for me
