Hey guys.
My car takes quite a while to warm up, and even when it does... it only reaches a quarter... (i guess half of where normal operating temperature is. Its winter here in australia, not freezing, but quite cold. Can anyone give me some advice on what to check for? |

True. ^
Those are exact symptoms of a thermostat failing-and or being held open by something. Don't just take it out, it is there for a reason. Plus during the winter the heater will really suck. |
