if yr temp is 80, good chance yr thermostat has been gutted or removed
All thermostats I have had fail failed in the open position. The tell tail is the car takes a long time to warm up and usually never reaches its proper operating temperature.

Yes another way to tell is to feel the top hose when the thermostat opens it will go from cooer to way to hot to hold quite quickly. You should be able to feel your it expand a bit as it is exposed to full pressure from the water pump as the thermostat opens. Good luck with it.
Whoops, forgot to grab the tstat, will go get one when I pick up the new CPS tomorrow. My central locking and alarm was changed as well due to the non functioning fob. Also installed the cupholder Now to book in for rego next monday or tuesday!
Crank sensor in yesterday, drove it a heap today and had no issues, got a new tstat and gasket (blank one,cut to size) so I'll do that this weekend. Getting registered tomorrow hopefully
then I need to sort out the knocking from the front left suspension. Ball joints?
